>I don't know specifically about your systems, but I wouldn't expect 
much performance out of a P4. I did some rough tests with lavc and x264

outperforming a 1.7 GHz P4 by 10-20%. As far as I know early Athlon 
processors were roughly equivalent to late P3s, >clock-for-clock, so 
the numbers you posted don't seem out of line.

Hmmm, I was under the impression that the P4 was actually optimized for 
stuff like this and that it should outperform the Athlon in this 
regard.  I've never been a fan of the P4 series, but I ended up with 
with some chips and was hoping that they would be well suited for this 
type of stuff.  Oh well.  Thanx for the insight.

I appreciate all the advice that has been given to me by the list 
members.  Thanx.
