Comment 17 for bug 993397

Yeah, sorry if my words sounded harsh, I didn't mean to (developer's life ;)).
Anyway, I saw the new unity branches and I hope they'll cover this "issue" too.
I will try your suggestion meanwhile.

>  vdpau works very poorly in Ubuntu 12.04 LTS on Unity3d. Same 1080p
>  movies use around 6-10% of cpu in 11.04 and 11.10 shoots up to 50-60%
>  of cpu usage in 12.04 with vdpau and mplayer (all under Unity 3d) . I
>  have tried several nvidia drivers and the results are the same (Nvidia
>  current 295.40, 295.20 and 295.33 32 bits)  Videocard is Nvidia G105M

>  This seems to be a Unity rather than a Nvidia bug as cpu usage drops
>  back to around 6 -10% for same movies in Gnome shell.
