[FFmpeg-user] Drawtext filter with date overlay is not working in git-N-29946-g27614b1

[Sebastian Arcus]

I've just noticed that ffmpeg is using 98%-100% of one of the processor 
cores. It used to take about 28%-38% on the same machine doing the same 
work using an ffmpeg build from 8th March 2011.
