Well, I have a 500 Mhz PIII and 192 MB of RAM. However, I never ever get skips with stock 2.4 or with O11int. Also, I noticed today that while the system was under moderate load (~100 procmail/sendmail pairs filtering mail through spamassassin + Firebird + xmms), starting an app like emacs took ages. I had to wait and wait and finally only when I tried to open a second instance did the first one come up.
