It gets even smoother and snappier if you disable Kodi's Dirty Regions by using advancedsettings.xml

Kodi's Dirty Regions - ARM GPU Tech - improving Kodi rendering performance (click)

DR really is redundant on modern ARM GPU's that also have proper chipset cooling.

Then there is also the CPU Mhz Freq to tickle in config.ini file (remove the #):

Code:

max_freq_a73='2004'
max_freq_a53='1992'

Disabling dirty regions on my N2+ makes one of my CPU cores run at 45-50% while idle, with some percentage jumps on other cores. Obviously it's even worse if there's a video playing in the background.

With dirty regions at default settings (no advancedsettings.xml), total cpu usage across all cores is 15% or less when idle.

Any idea what the problem could be, or is the dirty regions trick just not recommended for the N2+?
