I have the mpeg2 hw decoding working in minimyth now (which is frontend
only), and just as you say, the CPU usage is nice and low, but I also have
stuttering; both with OSD transitions and just at seemingly random times. 
And this is just playing back a recording.  It was actually smoother when
not using the HW decoder (with CPU at 80-90%).  I have the recording
profile set to 640x480 @5k/6k.  I changed the osd fade time to 0 as
mentioned on the list and that helped a lot, but did not completely
resolve it.

I'll update cvs tonight and try again, hopefully whatever fix you are
refering too will help me as well.
