When I run Aeon Nox, on some screens my CPU usage goes way up for seemingly no reason. So I turned on the setting to visualize dirty regions so I can see what is being drawn to the GPU. It looks like on a few screens there are some elements that while they don't appear to be changing are constantly causing parts of the screen to redraw.
I'm not sure how to go about fixing the issues but I did take some screenshots that demonstrate what I am talking about. Since people like to run xbmc on older PCs or low power ones like Atom based machines this can be a big deal. I think it would be great if it is possible to fix these issues since Aeon Nox is probably one of the best skins available for xbmc in my opinion.
Here are the screenshots: http://imgur.com/a/uDH3H The orange areas are the parts that are being marked dirty and being redrawn. If someone wants to take a stab at fixing the issue, I'd be more than happy to test/verify the fix. The extra redraw causing the CPU usage to go up to 80% in landscape view is the biggest annoyance.
