For example, using Activity Monitor, playback of a Roy Hargrove "It Ain't Necessarily So" clip via Firefox shows my DA Dual 533 OS X 10.5.7 cpu usage @ 150%. Same clip downloaded, played via VLC shows cpu @ ~ 45%. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
