23 Well, it does vary by a bit. Some are not quite so far off. I did find

79 Possible reasons, problems, workarounds:
80 - Most common: broken/buggy _audio_ driver
81 - Try -ao sdl or use the OSS emulation of ALSA.
82 - Experiment with different values for -autosync, 30 is a good start.
83 - Slow video output
84 - Try a different -vo driver (-vo help for a list) or try -framedrop!
85 - Slow CPU
86 - Don't try to play a big DVD/DivX on a slow CPU! Try some of the
87 lavdopts,
88 e.g. -vfm ffmpeg -lavdopts lowres=1:fast:skiploopfilter=all.
89 - Broken file
90 - Try various combinations of -nobps -ni -forceidx -mc 0.
91 - Slow media (NFS/SMB mounts, DVD, VCD etc)
92 - Try -cache 8192.
93 - Are you using -cache to play a non-interleaved AVI file?
94 - Try -nocache.
95 Read DOCS/HTML/en/video.html for tuning/speedup tips.
96 If none of this helps you, read DOCS/HTML/en/bugreports.html.

99 So, my AMD 2500+ with 2GBs of ram is to slow? I know this is a older
100 rig but surely it ain't that slow. o_O
101
102 I also realized something else that may contribute to this a little. I
103 started a emerge last night and thought it would be through by now.
104 It's still running. It's compiling OOo and some KDE stuff. Could that
105 slow things down a bit? Everything else seems to be responding fine. I
106 have portage set to a lower nice level than my desktop. I even have
107 ionice set.
108
109 Ideas?
