How do you know it's AGPART causing the problem - is it just because
the only change is a new OS? I ask because I had big CPU usage when I
fooled around with some of the recording settings and changed them
from 480x480 to something which I naively thought would be better.
Only it turned out it was no better - for no improvement in picture
quality I managed to chew CPU cycles like there was no tomorrow. are
you sure nothing's changed on that front for you?

Regards,
Phill
