I noticed a commit on Gibhub that gives XBMC an option to output video at native resolution. Video (e.g. 720P/SD content) will no longer be upscaled by the RPi to 1080P, so that saves some processing cycles for the RPi. The main advantage is that you can let other devices upscale. Receivers (and higher end TV's) have excellent (and more complex) upscaling/de-interlacing/postprocessing capabilities, which will result in better video quality.
I would prefer my Onkyo receiver to upscale the video instead of the RPi.

What do you guys think? rbej, is it possible to feature this in your builds Thanks
