Comment 18 for bug 229949

The three machines I have running a frontend are:
Intel Pentium E2160 1.8ghz (essentially a Core 2 duo)
AMD Athlon 64 X2 3600+ 1.9ghz
AMD Athlon 64 X2 4000+ 2.1ghz

All three of these are fairly modern and capable CPUs. This is definitely more than the guide being "more cpu hungry" or an "issue with slower hardware."

As far as cpu utilization is concerned, perhaps its possible that Cory and I have slightly different circumstances. When I run top, X goes to 99% when I'm in the guide, so for me it definitely is an issue of CPU resources. I haven't had a chance to mess around with the deinterlacing to see if that's the culprit. I'll report back when I do.

I can also give cory's patch a try if it is deinterlacing is the problem.
