I still think perfection lies somewhere between the two :-)

Ahem, misread that as a rather unpleasant condition which happens in old-age.

No, I've not resolved the issue. I could do some more debugging though.

I'm running X.org X Server 1.8.2 (kernel 2.6.34-gentoo-r2 #1 SMP PREEMPT)

nVidia Corporation G94 [GeForce 9600 GT]

Yes, the CPU usage is from envy24control. Somehow, strange as it
sounds... The higher the volume, the higher the CPU usage... Or, if
the audio output is continually loud, it seems to overload the meters
and CPU usages rockets.

Two illustrations:

low:  http://jwm-art.net/envy24_1.0.0_cpu_usage2.png

Let me know anything else you want me to try, or of further info you
may require.

Cheers,
James.
