Have you tried OProfile or strace -p <pid of vdr>, or attaching gdb to the running vdr process? I'm using a statically compiled matroxfb. I've used vdr+softdevice for almost 2 years now, and I haven't had any problems for about a year. (I reported quite a few issues that were fixed.) A few times during the two years, I've seen softdevice displaying fewer than one frame per second, running at very low CPU consumption. I presume that there is some race condition in the thread setup. You might be running into a similar problem. Post some debugging results, and we'll see.
