Is there a way I can debug this...? I really would like to get to the bottom
of this somehow. I did one more test: installed and started enemy territory
because it's free and heavily uses OpenGL... works fine so far. But simply
starting an untar process in the background while et is running causes quite
distorted sound and even the mouse pointer won't react in time anymore until
the untar process is finished. This can't be right. IO load shouldn't cause
sluggish responsiveness...
What bus are you referring to? As far as I remember only one or two devices
are connected through the PCI bus... all the rest uses point to point
connections. (PCI Express)
lspci -v shows the following: (most of the devices have a latency of 0)
