Ahh, I see. The only way to compare is to launch VLC using a bash shell 
and type the commands, I use pause and play to observe how fast it 
reacts (almost instantly). Then run the app and press the pause button. 
I set the VLC control buttons to a disabled state when one is pressed, 
when the process_read fires and vlc returns a '>' prompt (or anything 
else) it toggles them back on (I do this because end users like to click 
buttons over and over when they don't see any results and that just 
causes more problems). Thanks for looking though, I really appreciate it.
