It's difficult, if not impossible, to answer questions like this, because the 
performance of the system depends so much on the particular hardware that 
you're using.

Generally speaking, though, the performance overhead of LIVE555's RTSP/RTP/RTCP 
reception/processing code is usually insignificant compared to the cost of 
receiving/decoding/rendering the incoming video.

E.g., I suggest that you run the VLC media player application, that uses the 
"LIVE555 Streaming Media" code as its RTSP/RTP/RTCP client, and which can 
receive and play H.264 video.
