Passthrough means less cpu, and multichannel (e.g. 5.1) is possible.
Performance of XBMC on a Raspberry improved incredibly with these latest Gotham Build. Thx popcornmix and miappa.
It feels my Raspberry Pi is dualcore compared to latest Raspbmc Frodo release.
CPU usage XBMC idle (fast overclocked) is 32-35% which actually is higher than the 20% (which Sam mentioned somewhere).
Is 32-35% normal, because it drops to 27% playing an h264 movie. (XBMC must be the only thing that uses more energy doing nothing than working)
