Hey Nando,
I'm running an AMD Barton 2.6 GHz processor. I'll watch for processor load
tonight when I try to replicate the problem.
Thanks for the tip.
Brad.

started a 20 minute recording session with ardour (no jamin yet). While
ardour was recording I dialed into the internet with my modem, opened
evolution, read email and poked around a bit with konqueror. I got zero,
nada, nil, none, no xruns whatsoever.
Then I introduced jamin - 4 xruns in 8 mins.
Shut down jamin and go back to only ardour - more xruns.
Shut down all but essential services and only use ardour - more xruns.
Seems that a bottle of xruns was opened and I can't put the cap back on.
I have seen this happen. What processor are you using? Does the cpu load
jump up (and stay up) when you enter in this "xrun mode"?
