didn't make a big difference, exactly nothing with the dxr3 plugin (cpu use around 100%, probably most of the cpu is used by the dxr3 osd routines) and around 5-7% with the xine plugin (cpu use something less that 60% without the cStatus::MsgOsdItem, around 65% with). I'm using a duron at 1200Mhz, probably the difference would be bigger with a less powerful cpu.
So the cStatus thing isn't what's causing this.
Well, must be something else in text2skin then. After all, this is a rather complex plugin that does a lot of "eye candy" stuff - apparently beauty comes at a price... ;-)
Note that I did my tests with ST:TNG just to keep text2skin out of the picture ;-) but of course you're right: text2skin takes a noticeable hit on the cpu. Anyway, even with enigma channel scrolling isn't slow with the xine plugin[*] but it is with the dxr3 (due to 100% cpu usage), so definitely cStatus isn't the cause (and I have ~4500 lines in channel.conf). Since Guy's processor is comparable to mine (heck, his is an athlon, mine is a duron), there should be something else. [*] with xine running on a different machine, probably running xine and vdr on the same machine would use too much cpu too.
