Ok, found it. About 7% CPU usage in the original window size on a GeForce FX 5200.
It increases if I make the window bigger (btw, I could find the option to resize
to PAL..) It's about two times as much compared with XShm. Only crash I saw so far
was when changing the v4l driver option to GL (like you told me).
If somebody knows I nice option for this (already have "RenderAccel" "On")

One strange thing, when I was looking for these v4l option I opened and close the
picture settings dialog and now my colors are wrong. Now TV is more or less black
and white (even so with xawtv). This was before I changed to openGL and, strangely,
the openGL output has the colors correct...restarting X...ah, colors are correct
again. Hmm saw this before once, when I was playing with mplayer's color settings..
