[Pkg-kde-extras] Bug#673034: kaffeine: Too high CPU usage

[plectrum]

Package: kaffeine
Version: 1.0-2
Severity: normal

I have noticed that latest versions of Kaffeine have too high CPU usage. Playing back video files or watching digital TV with Kaffeine takes about twice as much CPU time
 as doing it using xine. This is strange since Kaffeine uses xine libs for playback. Until Debian Lenny there were no such problems. It appears in Squeeze and
 current testing release.

This makes Kaffeine useless for older CPUs. For example I can watch digital TV an my old Pentium III PC without problems using xine or Lenny release. It takes about 45% CPU time 
and is OK. Using Kaffeine in Squeeze  CPU is busy at 95 % and playback drops out after a while.

Please save our climate and money and fix this. Power is more and more expansive :-)
