[Bug 41707] Goom visualization is unusable at 'Normal' size and higher

[Vytas]

Public bug reported:

Affects: gst-plugins-good0.10 (Ubuntu)
       Severity: Normal
       Priority: (none set)
         Status: Unconfirmed


Description:
Goom visualization works as expected as 'Small' size. But if I increase
it to 'Normal', 'Large' or 'Extra Large', totem sucks up 1 CPU to 100%
(I use P4 HT), and the sound output becomes choppy or no output at all.
Visualization is invisible too.

However, sometimes it is possible to restore it to working normally by
dragging the possition slider, pausing/unpausing etc. Then CPU usage
drops back to ~10% on 'Normal' size, ~25% on Large size (average from
both virtual processors). So CPU it is capable of doing those Gooms at
realtime, the problems lie somewhere else.

Im not sure, but IIRC it is a regression from Flight5-6 where it worked
fine.

I attach the part of GST_DEBUG=3 totem output.
