I watched top while running vlc through PA, and it became obvious that the choppiness was due to thrashing the swap. What I need to do is to lower PA memory usage. What's the most effective way of doing that? FYI, this is on vlc-0.9.8a-1.fc10.i386 kernel-2.6.27.5-117.fc10.i686 pulseaudio-0.9.13-6.fc10.i386 I guess it may be time to upgrade the hardware, too.
