Try adjusting your disk settings with hdparm.  There are some hints on
how to do this on the ogle web pages (I think).  Enable dma,
multisector, and other things so your system spends less time waiting
for the disks.  Do the dvd also. You might have to make a new kernel.

I have a t21.  I can get smooth dvd playback using ogle.  The cpu is
still up above 90%, but it's not alway at 100% anymore.
