I am seeing something similar, although until now I blamed it on the XFree86
drivers. I am using a 1200MHz Duron, and DVD playing takes ~60% CPU power.

Could you check (using top from a console) which process actually uses all
the CPU power? In my case X takes ~30% CPU (with Xv or without, this does not
make much difference, strange enough)
