Nope, no performance issues. Of course this particular frontend is a P4
2.8 w/1Meg cache so I probably wouldn't notice performance problems
anyway. It isn't hyperthreaded, but I had no problems displaying 1080i
or 720p (actually scaling 720p to 540p as my TV doesn't support 720p)
back when I was using it with a 9A60 to convert VGA to component video.
