	More data for the pile:

	P4/2.25 Ghz
	SCSI LVD-80 disks
	Matrox G450 video card (32 (64 ??) mb)

	-CURRENT from March 29
	Xorg 6.8.2
	latest versions of mplayer and vlc-devel

	System is lightly loaded with many small/intermittant tasks.

	The only time I have problems with choppy playback - disk or
dvd - is when something decides to unpack a large tarball and then
verify the contents.
