(what a relief) After upgrading, the CPU cycles were properly reported and top gave the crucial hint... FYI: If you start xine in background directly from init scripts with --stdctl it seems to hog all your spare CPU cycles. Removing this (unnecessary in this case) option did drop CPU usage from constant 100% to a total of about 20%. yours, Jouni
