I have just recently noticed this.  I am running an AMD64 3200+ system 
(HDTV), with XvMC working.  When there is no OSD, the CPU usage is ~30%. 
  When the OSD is displayed, it climbs to essentially 100%.  All CPU is 
being taken up by the mythfrontend process.  Also, presumably becuase of 
the high load on the system, I noticed that the sound gets crackly for 
me, though the video doesn't stop (it does stutter a bit, though).  I am 
going to run further tests tonight, and will post if I discover anything.
