RE: My box got slow, what should be my first steps?
I have a 256Mb RPi running RC2 and I don't notice any problems.

MP4 video is around 30% CPU
AVI video is about the same.
MKV video is about 40% CPU.

68% does seem a bit hight for your machine.

Can you post /boot/config.txt and /boot/cmdline.txt

What XBMC skin are you using? If not confluence - try that, and see if things improve.

What Addons do you have installed? Try disabling all of them and see if that makes a difference. If it does, enable them one by one and see which one causes a change.

Also, is you WIFI dongle externally powered?

What I would do is install nmon and use that to monitor what is going on. See what happens to the CPU when you stop transmission and then when it is restarted.

Keep a check on dmesg especially after an "event" to see if anything new appears.

Also tail xbmc.log to see if anything shows up there - tail -f -n 10 /home/xbian/temp/xbmc.log
