Might this be the cause for certain applications like xine to take much more
CPU on pure64 when playing mpeg streams (from a DVD, for example)?
On this same machine (Athlon64 3400+), running debian i386, xine doesn't
ususally show more than 1 or 2% CPU use on top. On pure64 it goes up to 30 or
40%, despite the fact that it is using the same settings (XV hardware
scalling) as debian i386.
Furthermore, I built mplayer from the source and noticed a very similar
increase in CPU consumption, when playing the same files I used to play with
i386 binaries.
