Simple test: same movies that in 9.2 played fine and smooth in 10.0 skip LOTS of frames. I tried with mplayer, xine and totem, always the same result. Yes, it's an old mobo (AMD K6-2/550), but in 9.2 it did its job.

So I successfully installed the 2.4.25 kernel provided on the 10.0 cd, but was unable to configure the ISA PNP audio card. The isapnp utility configures and enables the card without errors, but modprobe snd-azt2320 exits with an error ("no azt2320 card found"). Card works fine in 9.2 and 10.0 with 2.6 kernel.

Next I will try installing the 9.2 version of mplayer into 10.0, just to rule out kernel issues. If it doesn't do the job, I'll have to go back to 9.2 :-(

Also, while burning a CD the system does not respond to any command. It's not frozen (icewm responds fine), but application it will not even start to load it until the cd burning is finished. And, accessing a CD in 10.0 eats up all CPU, while in 9.2 it was only using a small fraction - like if it was not using DMA, but DMA is enabled for all drives.

I remember somebody defining 10.0 "speed daemon" so I was quite negatively impressed by my results. Has anybody noticed such bad performance?
