Comment 31 for bug 993397

I had high CPU usage and I run XFCE... so I don't think it's Unity.

I'm running the older beta that I mentioned (304.22 seems newer), but
my CPU usage is definitely low. Here's a screenshot of XBMC playing a
1080p video using basically no CPU (the chip is a Intel(R) Core(TM)2
Quad CPU Q6600 @ 2.40GHz).
