That might be. Again I might have falsely assumed that that goes for my

laptop (2Ghz dual core) applies to his. Still I never had problems like

the ones he has with frequency scaling. Seems to matter at high loads

but with nothing using jack it has never been a problem to me, but it's

worth a try!

Maybe, I'm not sure exactly how old, I guess a cat /proc/cpuinfo would

be useful...

Ah, I didn't think about that. It could be his firewire chipset is one

of those buggy/crappy ones people curse over here from time to time.

Again I never met one of those, should have thought about that.
I used to be really into tuning my IRQ's but now it doesn't really seem

to matter anymore. Maybe that'll make a difference on his hardware.
Thanks for all the ideas so far! Seems to be lot's of stuff I forgot

about...
