I find that performance of the Linux RealPlayer is pretty atrocious
on high-bit-rate streams...  With the W95 version, I can play a
100Kbps stream zoomed to full screen with no problems, but the
Linux version chokes to death on a 100K stream if you try to
zoom the window :-(

Anybody know if the performance is this bad under Linux?
