BTW jaybass, do you keep an eye on your clock? i mean the CPU load.
i have
MenuMeters displaying cpu and disk i/o at all times... and i have observed iVolume sometimes slipping into a state where it suddenly starts consuming
massive cycles (like 150% on a dual-CPU device), all while doing absolutely
nothing. I.e., just idling.
Have you ever noticed that?
[if you're not monitoring cpu and disk i/o with menumeters, i highly recommend that you (and everyone) do so as a general rule of thumb.]
