On the K8M800, The HW decoder is actually slower than the CPU, and if 
unichrome cpu saving is not used, All the cpu time is spent waiting on 
the decoder to finish. The duplicate message is when xine copies a page, 
usually to display a still picture.

So it is worth trying to figure out why xine plays badly with cpu-saving on.
