Hello,
Recently I took some time to upgrade my home 4.9 system to 5.3-RELEASE (fortunately, taking full system dump before, so I can easily get back). In fact just after upgrading I ran into the weird issue during installation for firefox port.
When firefox-1.0-source.tar.bz2 is getting untared, the system starts to be *slow*: any music starts to be jittered and the cursor in X stalls from time to time for ~1 second.
For what I have seen everybody uses snd_emu10k1. Since I use my onboard soundcard (snd_ess* (not MPSAFE)) I have less problems with my sound under disk load.
Bit is just experience. I don't know about code internals.
Oh, I saw a post a while ago on stable@ or on current@ about a buffer in emu10k1. If it was increased it had less problems. Don't have the time to look up the post, sorry.
Ronald.
