[ltp] DVD cpu usage

[Joan Roig Amorós]

Hi, 

I reinstalled debian into my T40, this time using the Debian-installer (my 
first install was from Knoppix). The only problem was a first try with the 
2.4 kernel option: I ended up with a scrambled display; no problem with 2.6, 
don't know why. Besides that, everything worked fine. 

I am pretty happy with my new system, but I noticed that now playing DVDs 
takes >50% of cpu usage, up to 70% with Kaffeine/xine (it used to be ~10%). 
Now I cannot watch movies when in battery power. 

Anybody can give me a clue about this? I have tried mplayer, vlc and xine. I 
use the same XFree configuration that I used previously, XFree radeon module 
(the system has a radeon 7500, and 3d graphics are ok), and a home-compiled 
kernel (with exactly the same options that I used in my old setting). If it 
helps I can post config files.

Thanks a lot,

Joan
