because xine-lib 1.2 didn't update 2 months I have installed xine-lib-1.1 
branch from hg

yes. 

> Goga, you're with S2API drivers, right? 

exactly, with hvr4000

On our Russian forums there's some statistic with 
http://www.forum.free-x.de/wbb/index.php?page=Thread&threadID=202

1. vdr 1.6.0 and em84xx - switching time less than 1 sec
2. vdr 1.7.1 softdevice, directfb - 1-2 sec
3. vdr 1.7.0 eHD - 1 sec
4. vdr 1.7.0(1) xineliboutput, directfb - 2-3 sec, xineliboutput, x11 - 2-4 sec

seems it's due to of tcp/ip and pipes which are using xineliboutput

@Petri
have you some comments about it ?

@Alex
could you try with vdr-xine ?
