I downgraded to Hardy kernel manually, but I have the same problem. The video is still crappy,
I don't think this is a kernel issue, but I might be wrong
You have Intrepid, with downgraded kernel to 2.6.24 ? I did't know it is possible. Have you recompiled XBMC and the libs also ?
Anyway when i install Hardy from CD, it works fine. So it is really strange.
It is also importand in TOP that how the core utilizations stand. For me the threads share almost the same amount of CPU time, but the cores are loaded unevenly.
What i think would be a good test is to try the latest multihread patched mplayer on both kernels in benchmark mode. I think that could narrow down things as taking out the factors of opengl, menu handling sound playback, sound decoding etc.
My problem is i can not find the propper way to compile mplayer from source with the multiread patch.
All versions i compiled were single threaded or not frame-level multithreaded.
I found this script what automaticly downloads and compiles mplayer MT but i don't know how to use it.

Please help with this so we could move on debugging.
