Hello,

Mmmm!! I do not understand nothing :-? I am encoding MP3 in my K6 II 400 at 
2x-3x (aprox) using LAME (CBR), I can get around 5x using Xing codec (But 
ok, it sounds really awful). In my P200 MMX I can get near 2x with LAME (I 
had no tested Xing speed in this machine), but you can encode MP3 at 11x in 
your K5  100 Mhz :-? My CPUs need some steroids :-) What compressor are you 
using ?
