Nice find man !
This proves a theory i had this morning and have still to test !!

Try adding to your launch paramenters
-nosplash

and see if it happes again.
If it doesn't, GPU doesn't properbly handle the splashes on startup and may be causing some of the low performance problems!
(The problem i just described was there on another game: IL2 Sturmovik Cliffs of Dover, where the initial splash screens wouldn't "trigger" the GPU to recon the game as fullscreen 3D application, hence low VRAM usage)

Same happens to me, with or without -nosplash in the launch options.

I use the following and have tried every combination of the three, and always crashes VLC. Sucks cause I generally speaking always have VLC open watching something.

-nosplash -skipintro -cpucount=8

Also, I'm using VLC Media Player v2.0.4
