DVD question

Hello,

I have a Samsung SD-612 DVD-ROM drive and I noticed that during DVD playback, the cpu usage is quite high, between 50-80%. My current setup is:

Leadtek Geforce 2 DDR GTS video card
SB Live! mp3+ 5.1 sound card
Amd Athlon Thunderbird (Slot A) 850 Mhz cpu
Cambridge SoundWorks DTT 5.1 2200 speakers (without external decoder)

I am using PowerDVD 3.0 and I want to know if there is something I can do to lower the cpu usage. I am not having any problems or slowdowns in DVD playback, though.

Any help appreciated.
