How to optimize Pipelight for slow cpu's?
I have an Asus EEE PC with Ubuntu 12.04 running Pipelight.
The CPU can't quite keep up with all the Silverlight and wineserver processes; the video and sound are slow and choppy.
Is there a way to optimize this? I've tried in FF and Chromium. Perhaps my installation is bad.
Here are some of the machines stats:
zhogan@crusty:~$ egrep '^cpu (family|MHz)' /proc/cpuinfo >/tmp/t
cpu family : 6
cpu MHz : 1667.000
cpu family : 6
cpu MHz : 1000.000
Here is what the top part of `top` looks like while a video is being played:
pu(s): 60.4%us, 32.5%sy, 0.0%ni, 1.2%id, 0.0%wa, 0.0%hi, 5.9%si, 0.0%st
