It seems to be better than v7 here without X being reniced, however renicing X to say -10 always seems to help.

On my box renicing X to -10 causes xmms to skip when i switch
to a next page full of text in xpdf.
This is about mainline, not sure about your patch.And yes, my box is p3-500.
So i generally don
t think its wise to renice X to -10.
Well I won't say it won't happen with my patch, but nice is a lot nicer. Give it a try.
No, it wouldn't be wise to renice X to -10 if it caused it to starve xmms. I don't think that will happen in my version, so I think it is reasonable to renice X if you know it will have to do more work than other tasks and yet should still be scheduled quickly for good interactivity...
