I'm playing a WMV file that is relatively low resolution using
totem/gstreamer and livna plugins.
The playback is relatively slow with fair amount of lost frames, say 20%.
What can I do to speed this up? I've enough memory that I'm not swapping,
and I've disabled beagled.
What are the internal specs of the media ? mplayer from the command line
gives good info. Are you trying to stream or is the file coming from
local storage ?

Very choppy in totem/gstreamer. I am not sure if the overhead in totem
is in gstreamer or the decoder used by gstreamer. It plays perfectly in
MPlayer.
Info from mplayer.

I wanted to get an idea if the frame size and rate are particularly
high, but it seems the decoder doesn't mention that.
I haven't really used totem to be of any further help.
