[xine-devel] Xine performance on linux 2.6.6 {Scanned}

[<re...@rt...>]

Hello:

I have posted a couple of messages about this on the
xine-users list, and have not gotten any real help..  I
have noticed that xine takes 4-5 time more CPU running on
kernel 2.6 than on late 2.4 kernels.  I have an Nvidia
GeForce Card and the issue occurs using both the open
source nvidia and binary nvidia drivers.  I have tried
Xfree 4.3 and Xfree 4.4, none of which seems to help. I
have tried running with and without kernel preemption. 
All of this has not lead to any better understanding of
why this is occuring.

There is something obviously different on kernel 2.6,
since mplayer and vlc both show higher CPU.

Are any of the xine developers running 2.6, and have any
of you noticed this?

I am running xine-lib-1-rc4a, ui-0.99, and Gentoo 1.4, P4
2.4 Ghz, and 1 MB RAM, using alsa for sound.

Thanks,

Rett
