I checked my event log and saw it running slowly whenever I ran a P2P program.
Now you want to fix Windows Media 10.
Goto Windows Media player: Tools then Options and then Performance.
Change the default buffer to 30 seconds... Autodetect sucks. It will
automatically screw up much of your viewing 90% of the time.
Finally make sure Video acceleration is
full. (Unless you have issues with that)
