It's just you? I have a 233 P-II, and right now I am playing on mp3,
encoding another, typing this message, and I've done compilations at
the same time in the past as well.
I *occasionally* got a break in the song when doing the compilation as
well. But really, it took a load average of at least 2 in order to
get a break in performance on decoding mp3s. In fact, playing an mp3
does almost nothing to my load average (a slight change, but nothing
drastic) (using xaudio, till I find something better).
So, I'm not sure what your problem is... I wonder if MMX has anything
to do with it? Isn't it supposed to have MPEG stuff built into it?
If so, though, I wouldn't think my linux side would ever take
advantage of it. In fact, I'd be shocked if it did. Especially since
I think xaudio would have to add support for it as well as the kernel,
and I don't think either does...
(the most annoying thing is the slower compilations when I'm doing
encoding...)
(by the way, you know mp3.com has a whole bunch of downloadable free
stuff, though I havn't listened to any of it yet)
