I finally managed to test this in RELENG_6. The system performance is not obviously bad, but sound playback is distorted (e.g. the 'bell' in KDE is much higher pitched than it should be, and on the console it is low pitched and lasting about 3 seconds). Nothing is logged on console. There may be other problems that I didn't notice right away, but the sound problems were enough to make me turn it off again.
