I'm having an issue where for some time now, I've experienced very slow load times for certain videos. I'm running linux on a macmini, with the files being shared via sshfs. I have a broadcom crystalhd card as well. I've noticed that when it happens, the host computer shows a lot of network traffic, basically pegging the 100 meg for the length of time it takes to start the movie, once the movie starts, the network traffic drops down to normal. Playing the same file via command line results in the file being playing immediately with no abnormal network activity.
This doesn't crash the xbmc box per se, but is annoying. I've noticed that disabling the crystalhd card helps but not completely.
I've posted mediainfo for Iron Man 2, which is always behaving so, here:

I did this from the host computer, not the xbmc box, I can redo if need be.
This doesn't really cause XBMC to crash, but I can provide a crashlog if need be.
This isn't constant for all files, I've almost never had this happen with TV shows but low res/high res doesn't seem to make a difference.
Using XBMC beta2, r33681
I don't think it's a server/sharing issue, as only xbmc is showing this behavior. This is also fairly recent behavior, within the past couple of months.
