Hello,
this may have been discussed earlier but I couldn't find any signs of progress anywhere.
The rendering of subtitles seems to be done in the same thread as the video renderer.
When playing hd content on an atom/ion machine, the rendering of subtitles causes stutters/frameskips very often because it "freezes the picture" until the subtitle rendering has finished. This problem is especially apparent with chinese subtitles (due to the more advanced font sets I assume), which makes hd content pretty much unwatchable on this kind of htpc. Without subtitles, it runs smooth.
Is anyone working on this?
I found a ticket regarding this issue: http://trac.xbmc.org/ticket/10258

As I said, this is not only happening with chinese subtitles, but with normal english ones aswell, but to a smaller extent.
Let's just call this thread a highlight of the issue. This really needs to be fixed.
