[mythtv] high cpu load for xorg with 50fps playback

[Martin Long]

Sounds to me like you could be using the usleep busy-loop vsync method. I
would suggest trying to get RTC or OpenGL vsync methods going if this is
the case. Would make sense that it is dependant of refresh rate, as it
could mean the it is having to busy loop for longer.
