You might try turning on sync to vblank to slow flightgear down. In the old
days, high frame rates were not a problem, but now it appears that you can
buy a machine that produces insane frame rates. I wonder if there is
something in our timing code that isn't setup to deal well with this
situation?

I start flightgear 0.9.10 (linux) on an core 2 duo (E6600) machine and
after a
few minutes the sound stutters and the frame rate drops, but get this: not
according to flightgear. The FPS number on the lower right corner jumps
*up*.
When it starts, it's around 200fps depending on the scenery. During the
stutter, it can get to 400. Sometimes, after the stutter stops, the game
is
still sluggish. I see the yoke moving but the plane doesn't react.
Today I started flightgear by prefixing it with "taskset 1", to force a
specific CPU usage (at least, it's what I think it does). The stuttering
didn't happen. Was I lucky or is there some issue with SMP machines and
flightgear?
