I've been testing this but the CPU usage of xine is not affected by freevo. Using a matrox G400DH the CPU usage is about 80% with or without freevo running. The only thing that I can think of is that freevo is using more memory and you have just gone over the top of the physical memory. You can check this with Dag Wieers' dstat or vmstat program. What you can do is a testing install, using the howto in the wiki and then you can have different versions installed and see if there is any real difference. http://doc.freevo.org/SourceSVNInstallation Duncan ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
