FWIW, I'm running on a 3.0 GHz E8400 Core 2 Duo with a GT640 at 4K and
the menus in mythfrontend are just fine.  I don't see any difference
in speed between 4K and 1080p.  That's a faster CPU than you have, but
it's still on the low end these days.  I do max out the CPU on 4K
video content from YouTube and such.
