I think, something's wrong with your system. I've some 2/3 of your CPU
and RAM (but more disk), and can run xmms on mp3, while compiling a
kernel, writing a CD, compressing files... without actually loosing
responsiveness. That goes down only when something is using heavy
swap, which is usually due to my own errors. Maybe you can check
"hdparm -T -t" on your partitions... I did play around with that, and
after crashing the filesystem a couple of times, it's running really
nicely now.
