That's strange... I don't have any start or playback problems at all. Do you
have a "test" midi for me? (I tried various rosegarden's examples, but
they're all fine.)

But back to the topic: I could only test the patches on my laptop, 
since it's the only machine I have now...

(FYI: The laptop has a fast cpu (C2D T7500 ~ 2 x 2200 Mhz),
with 2.6.22-git17 x86_64, "Voluntary Preempt" and 250 Hz (not NO_HZ)). 
But I disabled one core and underclocked it to 800 Mhz for the testing procedure!
 

I didn't modify timidity.cfg (it is still original debian one), 
but I disabled the extra interfaces for emacs,xaw and ncurses.
It's because I don't need them, since I'm only using the server mode
and the ncurses thing eats lots of cycles... atleast according to
my oprofile logs.
