Do you see the same cpu load playing back with mplayer/xine. What does your

I've uploaded a 720x576 test card image to: 
http://www.openchrome.org/testcard.png

This image has two rectangles. The outer one shows the area typically 
overscanned by a TV, the inner one shows the title safe area (which shouldn't 
be getting overscanned). I'll have a play and make some more testcards.

You should be seeing a message in your frontend log saying that it is using 
xvmc. (actually you might need "mythfrontend -v playback" I can't remember)
