I could be wrong, but I think it's mainly heavy duty because you are
decoding to such high resolutions. I suspect that if you run the
frontend at a low resolution then it will need far less CPU?
I don't have HDTV so can't offer to test. But depending on the
implementation of the decoding it seems likely that there is a CPU
saving if you drop the resolution...
