Network Performance

[Chris Jensen]

Hi,
I've been experimenting with vls to stream DVD's to another computer - it's 
connecting fine, but playback is a bit choppy and there's some audio drop 
outs and crackles. Using top, I can see that the CPU is being used 100% with 
about 80% being used by nice processing. I'm using Xv for playback (on a Riva 
TNT2 with the Nvidia drivers) on a Celeron 400 MHz,and I have MTRR support 
enabled and kernel 2.4.17 with the preemptible kernel patches.
I would've thought my machine would be adequate to playback DVD's, can anyone 
suggest ways I might be able to squeeze some extra performance out of my 
machine, I was thinking that perhaps my network card isn't using DMA? but I 
don't know how to check or enable that.
I've had a look through the xine guide to improving performance and done what 
I can.
I'd appreciate any suggestions.

Wait: Did you know that there's a direct correlation between the decline of
Spirograph and the rise in gang activity?  Think about it.
