Is the CPU frequency scaling working for you guys?
I've found that I can only get acceptable XBMC performance in Hardy by setting my frequency governor to 'performance' using cpufreq-utils (3GHZ Dual-core AM2), however I wasn't able to do this on my fully patched up Intrepid installation (same hardware) because the kernel isn't properly detecting my AMD AM2's Powernow features.
It's a long shot, but I wondered if it could be related to this thread (I'm suffering with the same problem. A patched SVN xbmc plays perfectly on Intrepid, but as others have noted is unstable, so not exactly high on the WAF.)
