Did a little more testing, here is what I found:

Part of my memory problem was that I was compiling in a tmpfs and forgot to clear it. Clearing it resolved the stuttering problem, although xorg is still taking up 700MB of ram, conbined with compiz and mythfrontend its still using all 2GB of ram. Doesn't that seem a little odd?

DRI2/UXA tearing was still a problem for 720p content. Just a general note that DRI2/UXA is pretty unusable at the moment, at least for my current setup.

As for EXA, things seem to be doable for now. Its not as snappy, but at least the video doesn't tear.

Also, forgot to mention I'm running an E8400 cpu, core 2 duo 3GHz.
