Not sure if anyone can provide some insight to this, but hopefully the info will at least be useful to someone:
I was having some issues with weird flickering when I put the <algorithmdirtyregions>1</agorithmdirtyregions> into advancedsettings.xml (I also added a 1000ms flipouttimer as well). edit: This is on an ATV2
Even though its the default and thus theoretically adding visualizedirtyregions as false should do nothing, when I did xbmc would not load my Movie and TV Shows libraries (I use a centralized MySQL db). Also, and this part is super weird, the spacing on the Home Window between the different options (System, Shutdown, PsuedoTV, Music and Weather) was screwy. System, Shutdown and Weather were evenly spaced very close together and Music and PsuedoTV were even spaced together but a bit farther apart then the other 3 and the space between Weather and Music and PsuedoTV and System was rather large. Very noticeable.
My Log spit out an error saying something like, "unable to read line ending (28)". Which is the line right above the visualizedirtyregions line. I triple checked and it def was in correctly. Sorry for not pasting the log, but removing that default visualizedirtyregions line seemed to fix everything so I didn't bother but thought I'd pass it on. The funny thing is, the flickering seems to have stopped now and its def snappier, with the exact same advancedsettings.xml that I started with!
