I have a similar issue. I am using 180.22 driver (confirmed), with
trunk build 19602 and VDPAU enabled, and while playing an HD recording
I see this in top:

Any idea why mfe/X combined seem to be using 79% CPU, but the two
cores are mostly idle (using about 25% total)? The picture quality is
fantastic, much better than any other playback method I have used, so
in that regard I'm happy, and I don't even really care if the CPU is
higher than what it should be, it works!
