[Live-devel] openRTSP's CPU Usage

[Hernandez, Fernando]

Hello,

I am running openRTSP to test a streaming server and am running into
some CPU usage problems.  The client is a 533 MHz PowerPC machine with
256 MB RAM running Linux.  Apparently the client is not powerful enough
for openRTSP, as every time I run it see 99.9% CPU usage by openRTSP and
there is anywhere from 10 - 30% packet loss.  I have eliminated the
server as the source of the problem, as streaming the same file to a
more powerful Linux computer or a windows PC using VLC results in no
problems.

My question is two-fold:  How feasible will it be to modify openRTSP to
not eat up so much CPU, and where should I look to make the changes?
The video file is a 10 megabit/sec video file (1.25 megabyte/sec), and
you'd figure a 500 MHz machine could handle such a stream without such
dramatic CPU usage?

Thanks!
