CPU load over a roughly two minute period was around 15-30% on average. But once I started the video steam CPU load jumped to around 88-93% again, average over a period of a couple of minutes. Seems like this is way to high and last post may be correct? mem was 255/504mb constant and swp 0/1145mb BUT just this minute tried playing the flash file (that appears in /tmp when viedo currently streaming via u tube) with mplayer, and it works great through that, frame rate perfect!!!! Can someone now just please help me one last time, can I get mplayer to automatically play u tube videos as the player in the background on u tube itself? As otherwise I am forced to 'hijack' each video by stealing out of the /tmp directory. Thanks so much for you help, at least I have a work around if nothing else, you have all been great to the newbie. -- OM MANI PADME HUM
