I ran MythTV on Epia's.
Never had the backend or the frontend near 0% unless something was
wrong.
I used SP8000 and EN12000, all fanless. And yes, I did use XvMC.
I never really has the issues you describe although the errorcount as
shown by the dvb-apps was not so low.

Below is a patch that my Epia's needed...
