Hi. For the last couple of days I've experienced high CPU utilization spikes from /usr/bin/artsd. The CPU utilization would jump up to 75% every 10 or 15 secs. I never saw anything like it before. It freezes up everything I do. Killing it solves all latency problems. I have libarts 2.2.2-9. I'm running: Linux debian 2.4.13 #1 Tue Nov 13 13:24:33 EST 2001 i586 unknown Libc version 2.2.4-7 and I'm on woody.
