On nvidia's driver:
With XV, mplayer is using between 3% and 12% CPU depending on the amount
of motion, while for the same clip, totem is using between 8% and 16% -
without playing the sound, it is possible that the CPU abuse in totem is
due to the sound bug.
Without XV, mplayer is using between 10% and 17%, and totem is using
between 28% and 34%. But I couldn't get mplayer to scale the video
without crashing although totem was using cheap scaling.
I'm not sure if totem's extra CPU use should be reported as a bug.
Anybody else have an opinion on that?

I wouldnt report that as a bug (Would you report windows XP being a processor hog a bug?). Its just the way that Totem is designed. It requires more processor resouces then the other decoders for various reasons.
