Any postprocessing does, even FFDshow's does :P

@TheFluff:
no _sane_ person would set a negative PP value, how would that work? makes the image worse?
And i believe you can not use the GUI to set it to negative values

@LytHka:
CPU usage of the decoder depends A LOT on what options are used in the encode.
I encoded some BoA video clips, the ones on wich i used insane settings (6hrs encoding for just 4 mins video) the cpu usage is pretty high.
But on ones where i used a lot less insane settings cpu usage is around 5~20% (using VLC).

Clip: 38.99.129.29/~subcool/Boa - The Love Bug.mp4 - Size: 30 MB
(Dont whine about the black bars, i did not clip anything nor use any (smoothing/sharpening) filters :P )
i used mildly insane settings on this one, this one tops at around 50% cpu usage for me. (1.83 GHz)

Hopefully decoders will get more effecient at decoding H.264 in the future
