I experience this problem and I am quite positive it is related to sound. My sound has been really buggy lately and I lose it a random times (most likely watching a flash video, then waiting a little while). I am not sure of the exact cause, whether it's a sound from pidgin occurring while I watch the flash video or whatever. The point is this when I lost my sound my computer began to go really slow. I checked top and sorted by memory usage, and pidgin was around 1.7gb My guess is a memory leak, and it only happened when I lost audio. I'd definitely check into the sound portion of the code to see if there is a leak there when pidgin cannot play a sound because /dev/dsp is unabled to be opened (it's not busy...)
