Thanks to those who suggested hdparm, but it had no effect. I first noticed the problem during disk access, but xmms also sometimes skips when I just move the mouse over something with a tooltip. I got rid of my desktop background, and it still skips when I move windows around, but not as much. I'm also (occasionally) getting that double-keystroke problem others are talking about.
I'll try a Linus kernel and see what happens.
