I tested gcompris 9.1.1 without the sound (-m) and it is all right!

I re-tested gcompris with sound on, and "top" in another window, in fact
the "pulseaudio" process goes to 85% CPU relatively quickly once
gcompris is started (no obvious reason that can be repetitive), and
never goes down, so with only 15% CPU left for gcompris no surprise it
is so slow.
pulseaudio is version 0.9.21-4.fc12

During my tests there was no major Linux swapping, and I can't really
tell if there is a relation between the audio process eating cpu-time
and being a little short of memory.

Hope it helps,
Denis
