    Hello everybody,

    recently I decided to switch from fedora to Debian Sarge. The
    installation via the netinstall disk image went through smoothly and I
    am a happy new Debain user now.

    But: there is a strange performance problem which wasn't there before.
    Using Gnome or KDE every couple of seconds the mouse poiner "stumbles",
    regardless if I use a USB or ps/2 device. There is also a short delay
    moving windows or even displaying text while typing. Moreover smooth
    playing of mp3s is not possible - seems to be the same problem.

    Using top or similar programs I wasn't able to identify a process which
    eats up my system performance. The CPU has something around 5%, load
    average around 0.4.

    Has anybody encountered similar problems? I would appreciate hints how
    to deal with this problem.
    Or could it be that the hardware is too old? It's a 700MHz Athlon,
    512MB... should be able to play mp3, I think. On fedora, there was a 2.4
    kernel, now it's 2.6.8. Naively, I would expected a performance gain.

    Thank you for your help!

    Best regards,
    Tobias
