I am also running the emu-script to give me the more conventional mixer channels as well as the bass/trebble controls I have a hunch that it's related to the X system as I never had this kind of problem in 7.3 (was running the skipjack beta but i didn't see the problem on 7.3 when i installed the release version on people's computers) I don't remember X eating soo much processor power on simple operations. When I didn't so anything on my computer It idle'd at 0.5% processor usage or less.. now it's around 3-5% at idle. Does everyone else have X with a -10 nice level? I don't remember X ever having that high a level on my computer and although I can't find a way to change it, Ithink it might be responsible.
