Did you say where those streams are coming from? If you're viewing 
streams coming from some server on the net, it may be bandwidth and 
latency problems between you and the server. The fastest computer in 
the world can't fix that.

If its a stream coming from your hard drive, view it with activity 
monitor open and see what's happening. Is your processor maxed out (and 
is it WMP doing it?)? How about your RAM (is your system doing a lot of 
swapping?)?
