I cannot recall if I updated Intrepid, I believe I did but haven't in the last week or three. So far as I know none of the libraries that XBMC uses has been updated since I installed as there have been no additional libraries in the readme and I don't try to update those files often. XBMC however is rebuilt from SVN every few days on this box. I will be happy to try and figure out what's doing this, I may use Acronis to pull a snap from this box just to make sure I have a backup.
I am concerned that so many see this and I do not. I may try leaving this box's config alone and checking performance when I rebuild MY box as it's about to receive the same motherboard and CPU - I will look to see if there are pending updates though and note them. If the new build sees an issue and the old doesn't then it will be time to look for differences I think. I believe my testing was sound though - play the clip, look for dropped frames, observe the two CPU counters. Kind of hard to screw that up
