Hi Jarod,

I haven't had time to benchmark recently.... and I only have a single 1080 
hdtv sample.. which might not be representative of current broadcast hdtv so 
a pointer to a sample or two would be handy.
In theory the load should have come down with some of Thomas's recent changes.

The fact that Thomas managed 9% cpu utilisation with the CN400 on a non C3, 
suggests that it isn't a hardware decoding problem but a memory moving 
problem or something like that. So if we can track that down the load should 
drop too.

Regards,
