I just rebuilt by kernel this morning at around 2:00 AM from a fresh cvsup. Now, the sound driver doesn't perform as well as it used to. For example, playing audio clips in realplayer sometimes skips or cuts out when I open up windows, etc. My Mar 28 build of the kernel doesn't have this

Only the i8254 timecounter hardware currently needs interrupt-disabling, but it is hopefully never used on SMP machines. Worse. It is used by default on SMP machines which don't sport the PIIX timecounter. ie. anything using the PIIX3 or older (think 440FX dual P6 systems,
