That's what I said...

I don't believe that. The framerate on screen says how many times the screen is being refresh/second, if the framerate is 20, it's being refresh 20 times/second, if it's 50, then it's 50 times/second. How can the framerate not be the cause? PM3.HD reports a 50fps framerate almost constantly and the skin runs smooth, I know the skins are different, but serves to prove a point.
And I also just happened to find something else interesting...
I normally use XBMC at 1920x1080 @
50Hz and this is what happens with Aeon:
Main Menu: Around
50fps (smooth)
Music List View: Around
25fps (still smooth but not as smooth as the main menu)
Music Showcase View: Around 20fps but it normally goes below that (not smooth)
I tried to run XBMC at 1920x1080 @
60Hz and here's what I got in Aeon in the same screens:
Main Menu: Around
60fps (smooth, probably better than the 50fps but I don't notice it)
Music List View: Around
30fps (a little smoother than the 25fps when I run @ 50Hz)
Music Showcase View: Around 20fps but it normally goes below that (not smooth)
When I say "around xxfps" it means that if I don't do anything and just leave the screen as it is, it will eventually keep at that constant framerate. But if I move from one menu option to the another, it goes above or below that value but never too much.
Now, do you notice anything unusual? I do...
The framerate in the list view is half of the screen refresh rate. I don't have a clue what this means for real, but at least means something is wrong on my end!
