Hi Mikael,

It sounds like you're having the same problem we discussed over on the Users
group a little while ago
http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/293314

Re-reading that thread and your posts it seems as though this problem occurs
either with the nv driver or the legacy nvidia driver. Certainly when I
switch to the (non-legacy) nvidia driver I get a very responsive UI,
unfortunately I also get a video-tearing problem which I've not been able to
fix.

I did compile Mythtv with profiling support and tried to find out where the
problem was. It seemed to be spending most of its time inside certain QT
routines. I'm not really a programmer and I didn't fancy building a profiled
QT so I left it there.

I'm only using 1280x768 and it's slow but useable and not using 100% cpu, so
I'm living with it.
