I can confirm this behaviour still occurs in Hardy Heron.
That is to say : subtitles in xine make the video hang for a fraction of a second when they are set to a big enough size, with nvidia binary drivers and compiz enabled. when the xine subtitles option "Use unscaled OSD" is unchecked. (so it happens by default)
Work around : either disable compiz, or check the aforementioned option (which doesn't look as good).
