Post subject:  Myth more CPU demanding?

I've just upgraded from R4V5 to R5D1 on the same hardware and am noticing my machine that played back fine before seems to now be struggling to playback a recorded program.

top shows the cpu idle at 0% when playing back a recording, and the video is a little jerky.

Hardware breakdown for background, Celeron 1.7GHz, Wintv PVR-350, however I am not using the onboard hardware decoder since I found that severely degrades the quality of non-mpeg playback (ie divx and xvid), though I'd love to be told that problem has been fixed in the newer versions of the drivers...

Anyhow, the basic question I'm asking - have the requirement for Myth become heavier? I'm seeing mythfrontend using about 80% of the CPU when playing back. And is there a way to change the encoding settings to make decoding a little less CPU intensive? Perhaps to not so highly compress it?

Thanks.
