I wanted to share that I did a comparison with elephants dream in 1080p on my 1.8ghz C2D with mplayer -vo gl and xbmc.
Just wanted to say that xbmc kicked mplayer seriosly. Was noticable faster and smoother. xbmc reported about 70% cpu ussage. Altough this isn't what linux says, it says about 40% on both cores, sweet
mplayer gets about the same result CPU-stress wise but not shared, 70-80% on one core and the other is onsome 20%
The difference with mplayer is that is noticably laggy.
XBMC for the win
