One big remaining problem is the "Scrolling" problem. So as soon as you have any scrolling text/element (RSS feed, long titles, descriptions, movie plots etc) the CPU gets hammered to 100% as the complete screen is constantly newly build. You can also see it when you get any Loading icon/animation used by some skins - especially while using video addons.
Any options to solve this issue?
Amber and Aeon Nox 5 use "Working..." animations that update slowly, which doesn't cause this issue.
You can mod Confluence fairly easily: https://github.com/popcornmix/xbmc/commi...9e32ad5e95
Some skins have an option not to scroll long text. E.g. Aeon Nox 5 has "Enable auto scrolling for plot and review".
Ideally someone would mod a skin to avoid that (or only do it when selected) which would help.
