[MPlayer-users] Not a Bug! kernel 2.4.18

[Rob Wallace]

I've noticed that kernel 2.4.18 causes mplayer to loose it's 
performance. I have two kernels installed on my system 2.4.9 and 2.4.18. 
When I boot with 2.4.9 mplayer is smooth as silk. The 2.4.18 kernel 
causes steppy playback.

This is obviously not your problem however all of the latest distros are 
running 2.4.18! Expect people to start whining soon.

System:
RedHat 7.2
gcc-2.95.3
kernel-2.4.9-13
kernel-2.4.18-3 (from RedHat 7.3)
