Hello everyone,

    I am using souphttpsrc to download files from http servers and then play. 


But I found that the speed downloading is low comparing to other http tools.
---------------------
So I did a test for the download speed.

My device hardware capability:

Arm11 Freq  804 MHz
DDR   Freq  498 MHz
------------------------
(1)
gst-launch souphttpsrc location=http://10.209.162.77/yt_aware.mp4 ! fakesink

The soup version is 2.4.

The downloading speed is about 16Mb, and the cpu usage is almost 100%.
------------------------
(2)Use curl
curl -o /dev/null http://10.209.162.77/yt_war.mp4

The curl version is 7.21.7.

The downloading speed is about 55Mb, and the cpu usage is the same almost 100%.

---------------------------------
I think the cpu usage diffs too much.  

I can not play HD video on my device because soup cost too much cpu. This is
not a good news for gstreamer.

Would you give me a solution on this? Is there any other http source plugin in
gstreamer? Or how to optimize the souphttpsrc ?

Thanks. 

Best Regards.
