Same issue happening with my AppleTV

Dug up this old threat just to clarify that the cause of the issue is the XBMC Live package.
Recently I've upgraded from AppleTV with CrystalUbuntu installed to Zotac ZBOX (Atom D510 + ION). I've installed XBMC Live Dharma package and found out that it has EXACTLY the same issue - framedrops when subtitles appear. Though it is less noticeable than on Apple TV (due to more powerfull hardware) and I guess you won't notice it on some C2D+ systems, but it is there on Atom-based PCs.
The reason I'm sure that it is XBMC Live issue is that I've installed Win7 on Zotac and everything runs smooth on Windows version of Dharma!!!!
It really surprises me that no one notices this issue on Dharma!!! And the bug is still exists on the latest nightlies (I've tested them on Apple TV)....
I'd love to use lightweight XBMC Live distro on my HTPC, but it is no go with framedrops on subtitles ;(
I think it is the issue of VDPAU implementation in Linux, since the Dharma works fine on Windows.
I'm not a developer and do not familiar with open sourse projects, so can someone post a bug report somewhere about it?
HTPC: XBMC Gotham 15.2 on Intel NUC DCCP847DYE (Intel Celeron 847), 2GB RAM, Samsung PM830 SSD, OpenELEC 6.0.0
SYSTEM: Panasonic TX-P65ST50, Pioneer VSX-922K, Wharfedale Diamond 9.5 + Diamond 9.CS + SW150 sub, Logitech Harmony 880 remote

I watch nothing but anime on my ATV1 running CrystalUbuntu and haven't noticed any frame drops. I'm watching some anime right now (720, stylized subs) and it's all smooth sailing.
Tell us which files you are having problems on. Use
MediaInfo on the files. Upload your XBMC.log file (with debugging on) to pastebin. Those are all ways you can help us ID this problem. The likely reason it isn't fixed yet is most people aren't having that issue, but it doesn't mean the issue isn't there. You can help us find it, but we need more info. Also take a look at:
