[sldev] [LINUX, PLUGINS] Snowglobe - high load due to Media Plugins

[Opensource Obscure]

Hello everybody,
I'm sorry I couldn't do more testing recently;
I'm on Linux Ubuntu 9.04, where I usually get good
performances with the stable official viewer.

I tried yesterday Snoglobe RC-2 and after some time
client performances were seriously degraded (<10FPS),
apparently because of media plugins taking lots of CPU.

I already saw the same thing a few weeks ago, using
the first releases using Media Plugins. I'm not 
sure I'm seeing an improvement with regard to this,
on my system at least.

I have 4 or 5 plugins processes taking 10-15%
CPU each one: system load goes until 5-6-7,
while it's usually at 1.
The very bad detail about this is that that 
media were disabled at all.

I apologize again I didn't more testing, I should
have raised this before. It appears to be a
critical issue, at least in my case. I guess 
I couldn't use Snowglobe on a daily basis anymore
until this problem won't be solved.

my hardware system specs (these data are from
some time ago, but they should be the same):
