I also get crazy CPU usage numbers on Twitch for high resolution and high frame rate stream playback (like 50%+ for 720p60 on my 2500K), but Twitch started running trials in the past month or so for hardware acceleration for their player. I don't think they've pushed it live for everyone yet as it was causing some bizarre playback problems, but I thought maybe that could be a contributing factor for the difference in performance EnhancedInterrogator was seeing.
