Tested and verified, running mythfrontend in a lower resolution makes it
noticeably quicker. However, it was quicker even if the screen resolution
was still at 1920x1080, but I assume it's the amount of bitmap data going
over the bus that's the problem.

What's the status of VDPAU-capable cards on AGP/PCI-X nowadays? I bought
this one specifically because there was no AGP VDPAU cards, and because it
fits in an old PCI (not express) slot.
