I thought your problem was interesting because I had not noticed any
slowdowns with mp3 or netscape. In fact, I run gkrellm and I keep a close
watch @ the numbers. After reading your mail, I openned top to see for
myself what you are talking about and noticed that X was NI=0. But in a
matter of seconds (while top was running) the value became -10!
I also upgraded X, just few days ago. (woody)
