xa HINTS:

(feel free to add to this list!)

-- avoid exceeding server core (i.e. non-virtual) memory
-- if xa is sluggish, wait for a few cycles and things should improve
-- when using wildcards, make sure images are ordered the way you want them
-- to make xa your MPEG viewer for Netscape, put the following in your
   ~/.mailcap file: "video/mpeg; xa -1 -fast -private -visualload -quiet %s"
-- frame rates less than a few tens of milliseconds may make xa slow to
   respond to button presses (be patient!)
-- a nice way to view a directory full of random images: "xa -1 -full *"
-- MPEGs and GIF anims are read sequentially, so if you're viewing them with
   the "-1" option, avoid stepping backwards, otherwise there will be long
   delays between frames
