Xvideo CPU usage in 6.9.0

Hi,

I might be doing something wrong here, but recently updated
my Mandrake installation to mandriva 2006.

This upgraded my Xorg from version 6.8.2 to 6.9.0.

The result was that the XV controls started working, which is fine
but also that CPU usage of the X server when displaying a MythTV
Livet tv went up from 22-25% to 60-70%.
This is of course not good at all. Is this just a fact or do I have to setup
something differently?

My display adapter is a ProSavage8 and the kernel is 2.6.15.

Best
Dag
