Realplayer in firefox is quite slow.

If you are duel booting, see if Real Player is running slow on Windows. 
  If it is, it is the connection.  Also be sure that the settings are 
the same for both installs.

Why run an old edition of Windows when you can run the latest edition 
of Linux for free?  For a free download, go to WWW.Kubuntu.com

Now this is quite possibly a silly question but i've never messed with 
real
player on linux before. If i change the buffer size within realplayer 
itself,
will that also change the buffer size for the Firefox-plugin as well???
