A suggestion for something that I think would test this really well: The Tsukimi release of Acchi Kochi episode 2, starting at 19:53. Use the 8-bit version - the subtitles at that point were enough to bring my E2140 to its knees. The patch sounds like it might address a large part of what makes those subtitles so CPU-intensive. OTOH it's a sequence with very-quickly-changing subtitles, so whether there are enough frames without changes to make a difference is the question.
I'm going to try and get OpenELEC building and then pull in this branch to see how it goes.
... 13 hours later, still building. Well, really it's only about 9 hours because the first build failed after a few hours (looks like it needs autoconf 2.68) so I quickly threw together an LMDE VM to do the build on and it's still going ... oh crap. Just remembered I needed to install the PAE kernel for multiple CPUs to work ... bugger! I'll leave it overnight and fix it up tomorrow.
