I think this bug is related to the following threads which involve vlc playback skipping
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=972696 http://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=53415 Every time playback skips/freezes in vlc, there is a corresponding cpu spike of about 10% by Xorg which can be seen by running Top in terminal. I've observed this behaviour under a fresh install of Ubuntu 8.10 I'm desperately looking for a solution. If I can't find one it's back to windows XP Let me know if there's anything I need to provide to assist in tracing this bug. -- xorg 10-20% cpu usage after intrepid upgrade, general system sluggishness https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/294972 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
