Sure, just like there are lots of problems with preview images in
MythWeb on 0.21, and lots of problems with incorrect video scaling on
0.21, and lots of problems with Myth's finding recordings on 0.21, and
lots of problems with starting Myth on 0.21, and lots of problems with
tuning channels on 0.21, and lots of problems with getting audio on
0.21, and lots of problems with playback on 0.21.***

***When users misconfigure PHP timezone, DisplaySize, Storage Groups,
HOME environment variable, video sources/input connections/channels,
sound card, playback profile groups, respectively.  In other words,
people who haven't yet configured MythTV 0.21 properly have performance
problems with HD on 0.21.  Specifically, you need to configure the
playback profiles appropriately.  See
http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Playback_profiles .
