Re: 2.6.0-test4-mm5 and Warcraft III - WineX

[Sipos Ferenc]

Hi!

I'm testing the above kernel with mplayer, playing a non interleaved avi
video generates a heavy load even on a xp2100+, and tried to play the
same video under 2.6.0-test5 with con's O20 patch. My experience is
similar to yours, nick's patch is far better on the moment in heavy load
situation. The O20 patch has a side effect, it's somehow slowing down
the machine, e. g. when I compile the kernel under it, it takes much
more time to finish that.
