Yes, I'm seeing that with xine-lib 1.1.8 too. It is just extremely
sluggish. It also happens if I boot single-core (by restricting
the apicid in "cpu* at mainbus" per userconf).

Yes -- I see 17 LWPs. Probably 1 for UI, rest is decoding etc.
While at least the gxine UI is ridden by locking bugs as usually
done by Linux programmers (unlocking unlocked mutex etc), I don't
think that is the problem here. Both the "xine-ui" and the "gxine"
UIs are equally slow.

Just some .mov (mpeg-4/avc) is enough to reproduce this.
I can send you one, or do some research if you tell me
what to check.

best regards
