[mythtv] Odd performance problems with latest CVS

[Todd Tidwell]

I just tried this using CVS from about 6:00 PM PST.  While the new configure
is awesome, I still am having the same problem with play of HDTV content
without libmpeg or xvmc.  This wasn't a problem with .17 release and I'm
wondering what could have gone wrong.

It detects my CPU as x86 (athlon) which is true and it turns on MMX.
Anything else I should maybe try?

Try today's cvs, and rerun ./configure, it should automagically compile 
for your CPU in most cases. There was a small compile flag change to 
make gcc 3.4+ happy that is probably giving you grief. If today's patch 
doesn't help, you may want to use custom compile flags for libavcodec.

]OSD/text goes away.

Ok, I may have a fix for this locally, but I still have some new bugs 
in that patch that I need to fix. Try using "W" to switch to a different 
zoom, this may work around the problem.
