Skype on Jaunty is a cpu hog

My laptop is ThinkPad R52 running Ubuntu Jaunty. The Skype has been installed from medibuntu repository, 2.0.0.72-0medibuntu4. It was really bad to use Skype. CPU utlization was always 100% during call. The problem should be kernel or alsa driver due to mishandling input/output buffer to sound card. The pain is over today after I found solution.

I just simply replace paul by sugree then restart Skype. That's all! Now the utilization is stable at 29%.

pcm.sugree { # sugree is my name, you can use your name, just make sure you use it below too
    type dmix
    ipc_key 1024
    slave {
        pcm "hw:0,0"    
        period_time 0
        period_size 1024
        buffer_size 8192
       #format "S32_LE"
       #periods 128
        rate 44100
    }
}
 
pcm.dsp0 {
    type plug
    slave.pcm "sugree"
}
 
# This following device can fool some applications into using pulseaudio
pcm.dsp1 {
    type plug
    slave.pcm "pulse"
}
 
ctl.mixer0 {
    type hw
    card 0
}
 
 
pcm.pulse { type pulse }
ctl.pulse { type pulse }
pcm.!default {
    type pulse
}
 
ctl.!default {
    type pulse
}
