Hi,
Thanks for your reply!

No, that seems to be ok. I don't think the problem lies with the NFS server,
since copying the file with 'cp' works fine (and fast.) I've had more of a
fiddle, and it seems that it's the I/O causing problems - a lot of either
network I/O or disk I/O seems to cause mplayer's cache to run out. Still not
sure why it barely goes above 50% though.
I'm trying out kernel 2.6.0 with preempt on, so I'll see if that makes a
difference.
Thanks,
Adam.
