CPU usage at 100% when playing avi files?

[Alex Marten]

I ham having the same issue, I just recived my new Sun Ultra 20 workstation 
(Opteron 144 and 512 MB ram, running Breezy) and videos play is really
hard on this box.  This machine sits in my office and has no need for
high end graphics so I am using the on board ATI Rage XL video.  I
don't think I have ever used this low end a video card to play movies
and I am wondering if this may be the problem.  Anyone with an ATI
Rage XL out there who doesn't expeirence problems with video playback?
