Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: totem
I usually have very slow video playback speed at the moment, about 1-3
fps. This affects several codecs and players. An older version (jaunty)
I use on "productive partition" is usable and also a live-cd distro slax
(kde, intel 2.4 exa).
OS: Karmic alpha-3 up-to-date (intel 2.8 uxa)
System: Acer Travelmate 223 (from 2002. yes, rather old)

Controller] (rev 04)

What I expected:
Well, fluent playing of SD-material as the sys always did.
What I experienced:
Very choppy/jerky playback right from the beginning of any tested video. I
tried "Big Buck Bunny" in ogg and h264 encoding at a resolution of 480p. vlc is
also affected and uses xvideo. Audio runs fine. BBB on youtube (flv) is mostly
fluent, but the cpu is very utilized.
Some DVDs I tested have the same problems. Commercial content around 5
Mbit/s is no fun. A DVB recording around 2,5 MBit/s is fine as long as
the bitrate remains low. On slax it plays acceptable at roughly 33% cpu
load.
