Hi,
I have a HTPC running XBMC, and I notice that as soon as I start XBMC, even if there is no video to render, my CPU load goes instantly up to nearly 100%, and my CPU fan becomes quite loud. I read in another thread that this is due to the rendering of the user interface at really high framerates.
However, I find this really annoying, especially when listening to music. Is there a way to setup XBMC to a lower desired framerate for the UI, and decreasing the CPU load?
