Well then I guess it is a driver problem. It could also be exactly what I said (DMA), because the "%CPU" shown isn't lineary proportional, because of how it's measured (100Hz timer interrupt). I remember when I did calculations previously to adding DMA to r128, a 2fold increase in data amount caused 35fold increase in the number shown. (All who think about response, please note I'm explicitely talking about NUMBER SHOWN, not real CPU usage).
May I suggest to try other dvd player (e.g. vlc, www.videolan.org), and write
back how the numbers look like there. Vlc also has lower CPU consumption than
xine btw, perhaps it'll help.
Also, please try to do Xv fullscreen and run top over ssh from other machine.
