is Miro that good??

[Juan Hernandez]

People, I'm running a nice ubuntu studio system with a core2duo and
2gb of memory with a prettygood internet connection. I've heard all
this buzz about Miro (former democracy player) and somehow it sucks
for me. It's SO SLOW and crashes every 5 minutes... Is there any
problem with the ubuntu package? is there anything I'm not aware of??
I've tweaked the program in so many ways (the slowness and the
crashing persist) that I don't see any other thing to do...

Has anybody gone through this? are there any

Thanx a lot
