Re: [Osw-users] GUI freezes with ALSA, no sound with Jack.

[Amar <am...@pt...>]

While I can't yet answer the core question (freezing GUI), a couple of side
issues:
1)  The Jack driver isn't yet complete, though is part of the source code.
2)  C++ compilation speed seems to be quite variable.  On my main Linux box
(my 2.4GHz, 2.4.x kernel gcc 3.4) it runs extremely fast.  But on my OS X
iBook (800MHz, running Apple's gcc 3.3 port), it runs quite slow, though not
painfully so.  The key seems to be having not only a fast processor, but
most importantly a large amount of RAM (I recommend at least 512MB), and a
fast disk system if you do need to swap.  Most of the C++ compile time is
taken in the optimization phase, which is very memory intensive and can
start thrashing if it doesn't have enough memory - you can use "top: to see
this.

Will look into the freeze issue - though i haven't been able to reproduce it
yet.  Anyone else seeing this behavior?
