Hi!
I've tried xbmc yesterday, and it's simply fantastic! Knows and plays everything, even i can play youtube videos with dxva on my "no flash gpu render supported" gpu (radeon hd3870).
I though about to use another pc with xbmc for media center. But i see the menus are using huge amount of cpu and gpu resources even when nothing happens on xbmc screen. And the funny is playing dxva or even non dxva videos on xbmc use just same cpu and gpu time as other players. But if i use the main menu system then both of them rising to the max, also when i playing just music.
It seems the menu render having serious problems, which isn't good, because it makes the low powered economical pcs to kilowatt monsters
(40% cpu usage on dual core 4400+ x2, and 60% gpu usage on radeon hd3870 when playing mp3 music)
As i searched though the net i see this problem is existing on all platforms (linux, osx, win), since long time. Will be a fix possible in near future, or i should forget it?
