Yes, but almost any time you do anything interactive, like start playing a DVD, the CPU speed gets put back up to the maximum, and the crashes only seem to occur on speed changes when there's heavy I/O: your P2P program's I/O won't be much more than your upstream connection speed x2 (from disc, to network), while playing video involves much more data coming from disc then shuffling a screen's worth of data around 50-60 times per second. > Anyway, with the new kernel is now two days without crashes, so I'm > happy whatever the reason :-) I hope it's still up!
