Whatever cpu speed we declare for sufficient playback what is a fact that on the same hardware the same xbmc svn version (i tried) 2.6ghz was enough with hardy and 3ghz was not enough in intrepid. So these numbers could change from user to user (depending on svn version, hardware, settings etc) but the minimum 15-30% difference is there. And it is a lot. It makes the very good energy efficient E7200 7300 c2ds not enough for a lot of 1080p material.
