High CPU usuage on any video player

[Marek Pawinski]

Hi,

I have a separate /home partition.

I had 12.04 amd64 installed not too long ago, worked fine on this laptop.

At a remote location i stuffed something up and only had Linux Mint with 
me, so i installed Linux Mint and used it for a while.

Now at another remote location i decided to install 12.04.1 amd64 fresh 
keeping my /home unformatted. 3.2.0-31-generic

I find 12.04.1 very sluggish and totem, vlc, smplayer etc show 75C as 
per sensors & totem eventually causes my CPU temp to jump to 100C as do 
the others.

This is with a Nautilus, browsers & Thunderbird running:

sensors
acpitz-virtual-0
Adapter: Virtual device
temp1:        +65.0°C  (crit = +256.0°C)
temp2:        +62.0°C  (crit = +105.0°C)
temp3:        +54.0°C  (crit = +105.0°C)
temp4:        +31.5°C  (crit = +105.0°C)
temp5:        +60.0°C  (crit = +110.0°C)

This is with totem running:

  PID USER      PR  NI  VIRT  RES  SHR S %CPU %MEM    TIME+ COMMAND
28192 marek     20   0 1515m  79m  42m S   64  4.0   2:35.42 totem

sensors
acpitz-virtual-0
Adapter: Virtual device
temp1:        +75.0°C  (crit = +256.0°C)
temp2:        +77.0°C  (crit = +105.0°C)
temp3:        +56.0°C  (crit = +105.0°C)
temp4:        +31.7°C  (crit = +105.0°C)
temp5:       +100.0°C  (crit = +110.0°C)

I am watching *.mp4

Cheers
Marek
