I have a P100 here and mpg123 playing 128kbit mp3s.. PID USERNAME PRI NICE SIZE RES STATE TIME WCPU CPU COMMAND 1693 doconnor -6 0 10516K 1540K dspwr 0:15 26.26% 24.41% mpg123 This is mpg123 compiled with OPT_ARCH=i586 though. xmms uses threads which could be why its using more CPU that it should.. If something it uses isn't implemented properly it could be busy waiting instead of sleeping.. --- Daniel O'Connor software and network engineer for Genesis Software - http://www.gsoft.com.au "The nice thing about standards is that there are so many of them to choose from." -- Andrew Tanenbaum To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message
