I open Qjackctl, start jack, then open ZynAddSubFX on KDE. CPU useage jumps to

they take ages to open. If I click on a box, then minimize Zyn to the panel,
the CPU useage drops to normal, the child window opens ok, and I can adjust
parameters, select a patch to use, etc, with no problems, and can play sounds
ok.
If I then restore Zyn's main window to the desktop, the CPU useage again hits
the roof.
The same problem is there on F7, and I asked on several lists about it, and
also posted a bugreport, but as of yet unresolved.
ZynAddSubFx works ok on F7 under Gnome, but not under KDE, and I havn't tried
it under Gnome on F8, but expect the same result.
Zyn has always worked fine pre F7, and also on my Debian, Kubuntu, and
Slackware installs. I thought it might be something to do with Lash, which is
now a dep, but FC5 has Lash as a dep, and Zyn works ok on that.
I'd appreciate anyone using KDE on F7, or F8 trying out ZynAddSubFx, and see
if they see the same problems as I do.
Gratefull as always for any verification of this problem.

Have you made sure that arts is disabled in KDE? I've found that it is
pretty useless and can cause problems when trying to run sound apps.
