I was using the same version of xine under SuSE 8.1.  Most likely, as
suggested above, it has something to do with differences in XFree 4.2
and 4.3.  Again, this increase in CPU usage has been noticed on all
files I've played through xine.  I figured it either had something to do
with X or possibly some updated drivers (since 8.1).  I was just more
curious if other people had maybe seen this increase while using xine
with XFree 4.3  I know the version I'm running is a devel release and
not a stable, so I don't expect things to be perfect. ;)  I've just
found it as a curiosity and wanted to let the developers know that there
might be possible performace issues between XFree versions 4.2 and 4.3. 
I don't know what versions the developers have access to.
