dingob, could you create a .conf file for a high intensity file. (ie h264). name the file as myvideofile.mkv.conf in same dir as the file you try to play. the file should contain these two lines.

benchmark=1
nosound=1

then start xbmc on both stock xbox and upgraded xbox with debug logging enabled. play the file (if things are working you should have no sound, and playback should be faster than usual).

check log an look for the BENCHMARK: lines, and post both lines for both stock and upgraded xbox here. doesn't matter if it's old mplayer.dll or new.

that the cpu speed is reported correct means nothing. cpu speed is hardcoded on the xbox and the cpu speed detection is horribly broken, it will only report correct speed if correct speed is known before hand ..
