This is because when it first starts, some of the filters can operate on
the data in-place, without copying. For example, videoscale does nothing
when it does not need to scale. After you resize, you effectively "turn
videoscale on", hence the increase in CPU usage.

Use xvimagesink if you can, or some other sink which supports scaling in
hardware, without the need for software videoscale.

Andy
