What do you expect?
Just playing the video: XBMC renders the film with 25-29fps.
Playing in home screen: XBMC has to decode the video and to render the gui with 60-100fps (depending on vsync)

It's possible that I have a wrong understanding of the situation.
If the movie run in fullscreen or in the minimal screen from the settings with max 10% CPU usage, I expect the same behavior in the mainscreen.

Please elaborate... Main screen = home screen?
So, you are saying that if you are in the HOME part of the GUI while the movie is playing minimized, you see the issue?

Main Screen or HomeScreen ist the screen where is on the left side Video, Music, Picture, Weather, Scripts and Settings on PM3.HD.
If I view a movie, via the display key and escape key you can show the running video in the field of the right side of the Main Screen.

Ok, I hope I understand you correct. My english is very bad.
If I show the movie in the Main Screen of XBMC (it shows FPS 92,2 and CPU 53.5)
If I show the movie in Fullscreen (no GUI is showing of XBMC) (FPS 50,0 CPU 5,5)
If I in the settings dialog of xbmc the movie is show in the left lower corner (FPS 100.0 and CPU 12,1). Their is also a GUI showing as in the Main Screen.
So my missunderstanding is why is the CPU usage so high if a movie play in the Main Screen (10* higher at in fullscreen) and only (2* higher) if the movie show in the settings dialog.

You really need to use vsync.

I will try vsync again no problem, but before I switch off vsync I have generally a very high CPU usage.
But it's possible that my vsync settings was wrong.
For my understandig I can vsync enable in the xbmx and also in the nvidia control center. Should both enable??

It really should not matter... I would make sure it is enabled in XBMC.

If I only enabled in XBMC, the CPU usage is higher from 10% to 40%

Wish I could help, but I don't have Windows.
Maybe somebody else will chime in.
