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. -- Christoph Simon [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- ^X^C q quit :q ^C end x exit ZZ ^D ? help .
