I'd gotten the "system too slow" message twice from mplayer about a week ago with a clean RH9 install, but no problems since then or after the updates. I've got an Athlon XP 1800+ and a Radeon AIW 7500. In fact, mplayer performance seemed better than it had, especially using the slider to scan back and forth through a video. -- Michael Knepher <limbo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
