I was definitely not happy with this. But I also noticed, when running 'top', that it had a 'niceness' level of 90, and whenever something else needed more CPU time, xmms would give some up. I think, due to the niceness level it's using, it will take whatever idle CPU time the machine has. I'm using an AWE-64 with the SVGA server, and I have no visualization problems at all. I think I'm using the legacy drivers (snd0, sbxvi, sbmidi, adlib).
