      I get real time video so definitely something is not right with your
setup.  With a stock kernel I'll see occasional stutters but only maybe 1/10th
a second not five seconds.  With a pre-emptive kernel, no stutter at all,
and this is just with a 100-base-T connection at the server and a 15 mb/s
cable modem connection at the client.  So definitely something is not right
with your setup.
