Did you try using the ULE scheduler? I had extremely choppy sound, choppy mouse and an unusable system (dual core) if I compiled anything, but then I changed to the ULE scheduler and everything got better than it ever was in RELENG_6, particularly sound and DVD playback, both on dual and single cores. It looks like FreeBSD is finally also a good real-time multimedia platform. Miguel
