I wonder if the kernel developers somehow got the algorithms backwards, it makes sense to move all threads to one core and put the other one to sleep when the load is low, we're seeing the exact opposite here.

When I run that command as root on jaunty i see no difference. The load is still uneven.

Not all videos can be decoded with multithreading.

Okej. But none of my movies gets decoded with even load. I see absolutely no difference with this "hack".

ads_german: Thanks, now I've got even load when playing HD movies.
But it's still very uneven when playing xvid,divx and dvd. But I guess they don't use both cores?
I've got 1% and 80% with Xvid with Sinc upscaling. And framedropps with Sinc and DVD.

Only h264 can be decoded in multiple threads. Disable HQ SW upscaling, all it does is kill the CPU.

hmm, i just noticed this fix doesn't seem to persist after a reboot. easy enough to run it at boot, but can anyone confirm whether they have found a way to have the change persist without running the command each time the machine boots?
Cheers,
adam.
