when using video backgrounds.

That's right, it seems datasoul is playing the video even while output is
not visible.

I got ~50% cpu usage with the ubuntu example video (How Fast.ogg) as
background. Your Full HD video should require a bit more cpu usage.

Configuring background to static makes it drop to about ~1% after a while.

I think we can patch it to play the background video only when output is
visible. I'm going to give this a try when I get some more time.
