Local FTP server,192.168.1.1, play a small video(400MB) will buffer like 15Secs,which is much longer than to play HD videos from internet server?(typically buffer 2,3seconds)
After the buffering ,everything seems smooth but that waiting is so unnecessary.

Sounds like something o your network is slow, not XBMC.
Flirc now has a forum: forum.flirc.tv

Can you try another protocol (SMB or NFS)?

How quick is log to the FTP server from another PC? Ensure you're accessing it with the same credentials as XBMC is using. If you're connecting to it using a hostname, try using IP instead.
