When I play a 1080p video off of Ubuntu that is installed on a flash drive, cpu usage for xbmc is around 10%. When the same video is played off of Ubuntu that is on my hdd, cpu usage is around 60%. Both instances of Ubuntu is a fresh install of 9.10 and both have vdpau enabled. I know vdpau is enabled on the hdd install because cpu jumps to 100% when rendering is switched to software. Can anyone tell me why there is such a difference between the two?
