If using realplayer 7.0, .. you could take full advantage of chttp caching,
which is documented pretty thoroughly on the real.com
site.

Subject: Real Pix Buffering
About this time last year, they was a big discussion on this forum regarding
the inordinate amount of buffering one experiences when Seeking in a SMIL
file that has a Real Pix stream. Regardless of bandwidth (where 28.8, 56k,
T1, or Cable), the clip can buffer up to a whole minute before finally
continuing at the point you have seeked to.
I know all the normal tips, Jpegtrans, setting the bitrate in the rp file to
12000, keeping jpgs small. But has anyone discovered any other tricks to
reducing this buffering time?
I had hoped that by Real Player 7 they would have found the answer to the
problem but it appears they have not. I am streaming off a Real Server and
using UDP, not HTTP.
