That's hard to say without more information. Seeking performance seems
fine to me both in totem on the desktop and on embedded devices like the
N900.

- what kind of computer/platform is this on? (desktop? embedded device?)

- what type of file are you trying to seek in? (avi, mov, mpeg..)

- is the file you are seeking in local? (and a file:/// URI?)

- what demuxer is used? (GStreamer's? A third party demuxer?)

- what decoders are used? (GStreamer or third party?)

- what audio and video sinks are being used/configured?

- are you doing a FLUSH | KEY_UNIT seek?

Unlikely.
