Hi,

Well, I've narrowed it down to bad performance only occuring during HDD
activity. It's IDE, it's supposed to be ATA/66, but when you accesss the
drive intensly (untar, mkisofs) the load avarage goes WAY up and all other
apps are affected. Playing mpeg/avi files off the thing is near
impossible. 

The video capture works really badly as well... no idea what do to about
THAT one...
