[AG-TECH] What's typical loss on multicast video/audio?

[John I Quebedeaux Jr]

I'll check. My control was that I see this behavior on both on my full 
node as well as my PIG - I'll double check the CPU loads.

I've seen this behavior in the past on my PIG when I ran some 
visualization software at the same time... and put a good load on my 
dual xeon 2.4ghz machines. Generally though... the load on the display 
unit on the full node isn't so heavy and I'll still see the behavior. 
Well, I'll have to confirm...
