Can you take a look at the top program (from the shell) while you're
using "Real Player"?

I'd be interested to note what happens to the CPU percentages: does the
system spend a long time under "sy"stem, or is it all "us"er?

Also keep an eye on exactly which programs are taking up system time.

Are you playing "Real Media", or are you playing MP3s?
