On a kernel for may 7th. ULE was giving me frequent hard locks, video from mplayer was jittery at times, and would jerk back and forth between frames if I ran multiple video files (On older 5.Xs I was able to do this pretty flawlessly). Sounds remained fairly smooth throughout but running beep-media-player in concert with firefox seemed to aggravate the hard locks. I switched to 4BSD and I am now seeing much better performance across the board, still a few locks-- specifically when loading large directories in the Rox-Filer. Other than that the performance is quite improved. This is subjective I have not performed any benchmarks. This machine is a Dual P3 933, setup as a desktop system. ASUS CUV4X-DLS motherboard, 640MB ECC SDRAM, SCSI, Promise SATA150 raid controller, GeForce FX 5200 running dual CRT.
