Hi

I have almost 100% CPU when navigating.

XBMC version: SVN 15111
Xubuntu 7.10
architecture: i686 ( a bit surprised thought it would be i386 )
installed with synaptic pack manager using: http://ppa.launchpad.net/team-xbmc-gutsy/ubuntu

likely v-sync acting up. some gfx( mostly nvidia but have been seen on ati too ). busy wait when we try to sync to screen refresh, leading to 100% cpu.
...so you should try disabling vsync or setting it to video only if you have tearing.
Forgot to say that I have ati radeon 3200HD screencard, Driver 8.53.2.
Amd athlon 64x 5600+ dual core.

V-sync is off in XBMC, but it's on in catalyst center, the control app for ati.(had tearing without.)
