Well, I'm just telling you how it works for me. Textured video uses very little CPU and I can even have it run in a transparent window with no apparent performance reduction (there probably is an actual performance reduction, but it's not noticeable). Plain old Xv also uses very little CPU, but doesn't work well with compositing (for obvious reasons). Perhaps you think I have a different graphics card than I actually have? FWIW, lspci reports:

I use textured video, but Xv was never problematic for me.
