Yeah the movie might be the issue. My desktop has the same exact CPU as yours does, but I am on my laptop at the moment (My Dell Latitude D630, I haven't quite decided what to do with my Toshiba yet). The Desktop has no change in SBU time, its just my laptop. That could be related to other things as well, since this machine seems to slow down when on battery and never speed up again until I reboot it after I plug it in. Very odd, probably a kernel bug or "feature" since I have disabled acpid thinking that it could be the problem. I have been suspending my box with "pm-suspend" recently. Just realized that I went way off topic. Sorry about that. Douglas R.
