any one ?

Yes, this is expected, because it requires quite a bit of CPU.

any solution for this

install something like Darwin Streaming server on a separate machine.
Or try multicast instead of unicast, However this may lead to lost packets, and load on the whole network. Does not work reliable with WiFi
