As stated in the text on the original email expanding the movie takes considerable cpu 
time, for
a feature that is not often needed.........

I guess an option would be:
Expand a movie smallar as a given minimum let's say e.g. 450x600, if the movie is 
"bigger" downsize or upsize
the graphics of the "OSD" to movie size. This would enhance performance of the system 
and preserve a decent layout. Perhaps sizing
of the "OSD" must also be dependend on the aspect ratio of the movie.

my 2 cents.......
