As cpu required for (low bitrate) video decode is quite low, it's not surprising that pausing or stopping video increases cpu.
Enabling vsync and selecting a 24fps HDMI mode will reduce cpu.
My TV only supports 60hz and I've enabled vsync. It seems rather nuts that the pause GUI (which is completely static), whether the timeline/Now Playing OSD is showing before pausing, is "updating" at 60fps and pushing the CPU high.
Does guires support anything lower than 720p? As my brother will be using the composite output at 720x576i, it might be an idea to set gpu_mem=128 so that OE loads entirely into RAM and perhaps reducing the guires might reduce the CPU usage a bit for him as well.

Booting:
39sec with sd-card

In other tests i cannot see a different!
With a class 10 SD card it can be hard to find a faster USB stick. My Transcend USB3 stick is about the same (28MB/s) for reads and a bit slower (10MB vs 12MB) for writes. I tested my sticks on my PC first to find a good one, as even some USB3 sticks have worse write speeds than some USB2 sticks.
The only reason I'm using the USB really is to minimise the chance of corruption when overclocking, which is a good reason
