have you tried to convert the subtitle format from .ass to .txt or .srt and than use it as external subtitles ? Try the software like Subtitle-Workshop
try if this make any difference (it should)
This can be a temp fix till there is proper fix found

hah... libass *snort*

So that explains why the older versions of xbian worked for me. The styling must have been disabled or broken.

If you are running linux or have a console with sed (mac?) you can do this to get rid of all the blur commands:

Code:

sed -e 's/{\\blur.*}//g' test.ass > new.ass

... add an -i and it will do it inline without needing to redirect but you will loose the original file.

I will try removing all the blur/fad/??? stuff from my files this weekend to see if it helps and if it makes things unreadable.

I have extracted the .ass from some of my anime and manually removed all the blurs, and even some extra subs.
And it was still quite choppy :\

have u tried to convert the subs as I mention above ?
probably easier to do than removing blur
