If whatever you are playing back on doesn't have the juice to handle the
original stream, the plex server has to re-encode it... if the host server
doesn't have the CPU overhead to do this, you're SOL... plex really
requires a decent server for transcoding.
Part of the reason I keep coming back to a full HTPC after several
"lighter" options...
