Why is it that when running Opera and I open a video in WMP or BSplayer and I assume any other player using the WMP codecs, it will freeze my pcfor several seconds, then operate for a couple of second, then freeze again. because everythign freezes I can't even see exactly what uses all the CPU in task manager, I've never seen it freeze that bad before. usually task manager is able to get enough resaources to show that.

I've never to my recollection experienced this in Opera before either, so it muct be a Opera 8 thing.
