Id love to, but the ktrace (using ktrace -t c) is always between 
49-100MB large within a second or two of xine running.

However, it seems to be full of these:

  888 xine     RET   poll 0
  888 xine     CALL  gettimeofday(0x285a1378,0)
  888 xine     RET   gettimeofday 0
  888 xine     CALL  sys_set_tls_area(0,0x2866ff98,0x8)
  888 xine     RET   sys_set_tls_area 123/0x7b
  888 xine     CALL  poll(0x2867c000,0x1,0)
Do you need something specific I can search for?

By the way, I fixed the ATA problem. I didnt realize I was using a 
40-pin cable :roll eyes:

Cheers,
Petr

By the way, it seems that the reason Xine is so slow is that it uses a 
lot of CPU just after start (no movie playing)

Can you ktrace the process and see what syscalls it is executing?
I suspect another threading issue.
