Added info: Scrolling slowly in Konqueror makes the effect worse. Occurs when XMMS using OSS or Arts output plugin. Occurs even when it's just Konqueror and XMMS (shut down rpmdrake and shell). Worse with Konqueror maximized than default opening size. Doesn't occur while starting other software. Hasn't occurred yet with other KDE apps (such as KWord). Occurs on any web site brought up in Konqeror large enough to require scrolling.
So I'm guessing the screen repaint routines Konq's calling on must be doing something serious to the system underneath to be affecting the performance of other running apps.
