Thanks very much, I've tested xvimagesink on hardware which support
Xv, With out such issue even the videoscale still in the pipeline. and
I tried to remove the videoscale from the pipeline which use
ximagesink, It just consume 25~30% CPU resouce.

There is another issue: videoscale or ximagesink doesn't scale/show
the right image size. the image never be scaled to fit the resized
window's width and height, while it have consuming 100% CPU. There is
a black border around the image when window is lager than the image,
or image will be cliped while the window this samller then the image.
