I don't know what could be causing this.

I have lots of stuff running: postgresql, mysql, apache, X (!), netscape, etc. 
As I test, I started Staroffice, and the mp3 I was playing did not skip.

I am using XMMS.

BTW, I wouldn't mind having your system :)   Nothing should be slow with that
stuff :-)   I take it that everything is SCSI?

I have no ideas what could be happening.  Perhaps check top.
