Interesting. Those are lower than I was thinking they'd be... Ah, I presume 
you're not running any deint filters though, correct? I'm curious how much 
scaling taxes the cpu, since I resize everything to my 1760x960 mode, rather 
than outputting straight 1920x1080... I'll have to try 1920x1080 outright, I 
guess...

Definitely interested how much of a difference that makes.

Also, what exactly are the playback problems you're having? (Or did I miss 
that part?). I just assumed it was non-smooth video and/or audio from a 
pegged cpu... I've been assuming way too much lately, for some reason... :-)
