Post subject:	UseEvents trick
Maybe I'm the only one that missed the UseEvents tip for Xorg/X CPU usage. But this is really effective and doesn't seem to install (that I've seen) by default. Under Section "Device" Code: Option "UseEvents" "True" This has reduced CPU usage WAY DOWN for me. I never had a problem, but now have a lot more headroom, maybe I can try realtime commflag...

Yes! For me, it's necessary in order to have smooth playback. This really should be set by default... if it doesn't show up in the next build, we should add it to the R6 wishlist.

I didn't even notice it missing after upgrading to R5F27. UseEvents was my "magic bullet" for HD playback in past versions. Too Many Secrets - What sort of CPU gains are you seeing with UseEvents? I may have to do some experimenting...
