Hi !

My configuration :
Intel Core2Duo E6600 with 2 GB
nVidia 7600GT with 256MB
Debian GNU-Linux Lenny with Kernel 2.6.22
Driver nvidia 100.14.23

Main XBMC screen
50-60% cpu used around 59 fps

DivX playback 608x336
30-35% cpu used around 29 fps [8% mplayer alone]

HD 1080p playback 1920x1080
50-70% cpu used around 29 fps [40% mplayer alone]

Video OK but xbmc use more CPU than mplayer

You can deff see a big difference in playback speed for 1080p from my cpu to yours, im wondering how much faster it might be.
