Hi all, I'm wondering what folks who understand Linux configuration better than I do about a problem like this. I run media all day while working on my Gentoo/KDE box. The machine is generally over powered for 99% of the work I do. It works _very_ hard when I kick off big numeric runs (i.e. 100% usage for 2-30 minutes) but most of the time CPU usage is running at <1-2% while I'm doing things like editing code and watching a movie at the same time/
What I do notice however is that whether I'm watching NetFlix in a VM or a movie on disk using VLC, when I insert a DVD I almost always get a glitch of 1-2 seconds while the system figures out what to do with the DVD. I see some CPU usage, but it's not like 12 processors go to 100%. As I seldom care if the system immediately knows what the DVD is and would rather not get the glitches & delays, what sort of configuration options do I have to control that? In general I'm not finding any messages in either dmesg or /var/log/messages. If I need to look elsewhere let me know. Thanks, Mark
