Even with the offloading that Nvidia drivers do, there is obvisouly some sort of problem
here.  I have a P4 3.0 with an ATI 9600 (AGP) and I don't experience any prebuffering
pauses or stuttering, and my CPU will hang around 70% during 1080i content.

I also have another frontend with a P4 2.26 and an ATI 9600.  This also handles 1080i 
pretty well, with only minor stuttering when the video first starts and CPU about 90%.
