I am very interested!

One more speed increase: Just updated my glibc and related libraries, automatically using urpmi (I did have to set update repository names). Cut one-camera CPU modect no-alarm from 50% to 25%. Apparently they really worked on that glibc for the updates. I might try to optimize that for athlon and ...

That's astonishing, I would have thought the MPEG overhead would be highest of all. I'll hopefully have time to try it today. It seems that my 1GHz / 0.5G RAM box is something akin to one-camera-sufficient horsepower, I'm not certain I can optimize it enough for two cameras unless I go down to 5 fps ...

rd, are there any other system optimizations you might recommend? There used to be kernel optimizations for heavy PCI bandwidth, and maybe other things similar. I wonder also what would happen if I switched to Gnome or XFCE. Gnome packages seem to exist for this Mandrake, but not XFCE, I imagine I ...

Help? Also, --rebuild itself doesn't seem to be an option published in the rpm man file?

Well, I know a little bit...just enough to get myself into lots of trouble and do some good :) I just installed the MMX-enabled jpeg libraries. Very interesting result. CPU usage is just a tad lower, but memory usage is half. Half! Quite an advantage! Thanks much! I'll try the other shortly :)

I'm using the LiveCD installed to hard drive, updated to .3, delightfully. Athlon 1GHz with 1G RAM, a quad-BT878 card. CPU usage seems to sit at 50% with one camera. Haven't tried camera two yet, but will be doing so shortly, I would like to see how many cameras I can pack into one 1GHz box. Thought ...

It took me a little while to figure it out, so I figured I post it in case anyone else needs it. 1. Log into your ZM computer 2. su to root (type su, press ENTER, provide password: qwerty by default) 3. type: wget http://www.fairpoint.net/~rdmelin/RPMS/mdk_2006/zm-1.22.3-4_20060mdk.i586.rpm + ENTER ...
