<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>In my initial investigations with
LiveMedia 2 years ago, I had noticed that putting it as the highest priority
thread ended up chewing a lot of CPU cycles, and potentially starving other
threads as well (embedded Linux, 2.6.10) – the solution was to relegate
to being the lowest priority thread in my system, in which case it performed
just fine.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>This might have changed with the latest
LiveMedia libraries – theoretically, the select() should prevent idle
busy looping situations in the thread, but what might have been happening might
be repeated scheduling by a certain class(s) with short periods of cycle time.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
