Out of curiosity, how does the video playback part of Netflix perform?
I imagine that it is using DirectDraw overlays or Direct3D9 YUV
surfaces, which are somewhat supported, but have many rough edges. Is
playback performant enough for full HD videos? How does the CPU usage
compare to Windows?

I don't have a Windows box at home to play with, so it'd be difficult
to make a direct CPU comparison, but I successfully watched Sherlock
Season 2 in full HD the other day (Intel i7-2760QM, nVidia GeForce GTX
560M).  There was a little bit stuttering periodically, but that could
very well have been my connection.
