It was really only the OpenGL transitions in MythGallery that it didn't 
handle for me.  That and I had to crank Goom way down (to the point of 
blockiness).

Exactly my results with OpenGL at 1920x1080 on my MX440.  The menu was 
just slightly slower than at lower resolutions, but probably primarily 
due to the loading of the larger image sizes (rather than the OpenGL 
itself).
