Have you switched off compositing in the xorg ? Depending on your CPU -
this is to high CPU usage still. I have below 10% at HD and around 5% or
lower for SD while watching TV. Also denoise/sharpen of vdpau on SD
content provides quite good quality picture even on SD.

If you are fine with xv - but see above - the only time i came in that
range IMHO was back at the days where i still used my Turion ML-30 at
some of the HD stations (not all).
