My AMD AthlonXP 1600+ cpu can burn a CD at 40X from the network, while playing Wolfenstein at 1024x768 in WinXP. The fact that FreeBSD can't even burn at 4-6X while running measly XMMS is totally unnacceptable and should be looked at. I would do it myself, but I'm only at the very beginnings of being able to program in C. -Craig From: "Julian St." Subject: Re: playing mp3s and burning a cd >Am Mo, 2003-03-24 um 20.33 schrieb Vallo Kallaste: >> > Now on 5.0-release, the music gets *sloooow* as soon as the massive IO >> > gets on.
