Quote:if it is the scheduler maybe running different groups/users affects it (don't think so but who knows...pulluli - nice point - unfortunately i happened to be running xbmc as root last night to try and get round a different issue with the new intel 2.5.1 drivers (GPU registers as software rastersizer run as user - Mesa DRI as root). I tested to the killa sample and saw same issue. cores uneven ~100%, ~10%with 60+ dropped frames by the end. I also noticed the load alternating between the two. e.g. beginning c1=100% c2=10% --> then load would shift to e.g c1=10% c2=100%. I'd not noticed this before however i remember reading another post about mplayer switching cores like this. - i'll try and dig it out -- actually post by motd2k #29 of this thread - shows the cores switching.
obviously the figures are not the exact ones but the core load is most certainly uneven, and obviously so.
BLKMGK - do you do a clean install from CD or a clean install of hardy then upgrade? I'm interested into why don't possibly see the issue.
