Using "next" branch of GNU Radio pulled on 12/3/10.
Pulled latest UHD source same day.
Using latest USRP2 firmware and bit file for UHD
Fedora 14, 32 bit
Dell M6500 Laptop with 4 GB RAM
Nothing from /var/log/messages or from dmesg
I've boiled it down to something more fundamental. I'm getting the same
behaviour with the simplest of flow graphs. I can't seem to go faster
than 2 Msps into a single 265 point FFT sink (using GRC) without samples
halting after a few seconds. No over or under run messages, nothing. The
GUI is responsive, but the data slow has halted. If I add on a filter I
can't go past 1 Msps. With just a simple python script connecting a 10 Msps
USRP2 source into a null sink, it drops to the console in a few seconds with
no info. I can't sustain 20 Msps for more than 1 second.

Laptop is connected to USRP2 via a 1000 Mb switch; lights show traffic stops
and USRP LED C turns off. Straight connection to laptop makes no
difference.
benchmark_rx_rate is clean until 25 Msps, at which point it calculates 23
Msps sustained.
Firewall is disabled.
top shows python at 200% CPU when running, then drops off the process list
when flow graph stops.
I did the "net.core.rmem_max=50000000" and "me - rtprio 50" tweaks.
Anyway, I could swear I was not having these problems a couple of weeks ago.
I distinctly remember looking at the full 25 Msps bandwidth on an FFT sink.
Of course that was with the stable GNU Radio release and non-UHD.
