I cannot reproduce that on my personal box. I have a Duron at 800 MHz with debian squeeze on it. Running mpg123 -v needs around 1% of CPU! There must be something else going on. Also please note that nowadays, the audio output happily gobbles up way more CPU than mpg123 needs. An example is the ALSA library resampling 44100 Hz material to 48000 Hz.
Can you produce a profile of your CPU-consuming mpg123 (using the perf tool, for example)? Alrighty then, Thomas
