[xine-user] unrealistic CPU load

[Martin, M. <Mat...@ba...>]

Hi all

Well, well, I still have a huge problem with "When I say successfully,  I
mean well enough to invite some friends over, let the thing roll, and never
have to touch it?". Xine uses somewhere around 80% of my CPU cycles and the
rest is eaten up by X and another xine-thread. This is just sick, since I
have a 1 GHz machine. And yes, Xv works - big time. And I have lots of
dropped frames. Could it be that kernel 2.4.2 has some quirks that slow down
xine? Or should I try to play with the different builds (i586/i686)? Ok, I
know - I should try that first and ask _then_, but I had the idea right now.

I will doublecheck the mtrr stuff too,....

Please, has anyone with a similar amount of processing power had any
problems with dropped frames?
