Actually, I already use the option "read info on load", so I do not experience freezes when scrolling my playlist. However, the freezes appear frequently anyway, e.g. when xmms opens a dialog that reads directory information from the disk, and therefore still annoys me. I suspect "my version" of the problem is a bit different from what other people report, since the execution of heavy programs, such as Mozilla Firefox and Thunderbird, also disturbs xmms and causes short lags in the sound.
I've been experiencing the exact same problem you describe. I've never looked for a solution though since I always took OpenBSD for a server operating system. I have a Linux box lying around for when I want to listen to music, play videos...
Maybe the new kernel threads will make the problem go away, I have no idea.
