I have had the same problem with 2.6.9 and FC2 (Celeron 1.3 GHz). I have come to the conclusion, that you cannot use NVidia's AGP driver, if AGPGART is compiled into the kernel (I have tried several kernel boot parameters to get rid of AGPGART unsuccessfully).
So, I have set NvAGP=3 in xorg.conf and so AGPGART is being used (again check /proc/driver/nvidia/agp/status).
X is still using CPU, but much less (13%). I don't know, if it would use only 1% CPU with NVidia-AGP, as it does on another machine with FC1/Kernel 2.4/NvAGP=1 or if the higher X usage is coming from FC2/Kernel 2.6. At least the prebuffering pauses are gone with AGPGART.
NvAGP=3 didn't seem to help much. I think I'm seeing fewer prebuffering pauses, but X is still taking about 40% and mythfrontend is taking about 55%. If I enable kernel deinterlacing (which I used with FC1), I still get a prebuffering pause every 2-3 seconds.
Is AGP enabled now (/proc/driver/nvidia/agp/status)?
It looks like my only solution is to compile the kernel without agpgart, unless there's an rpm package out there somewhere. I've never compiled a kernel before...
It's not too hard. There should be plenty of HowTos on the web.
