Comment (by Pete):

 (...following ttcoder's link from #7285...)
 The steps above are exactly reproducible on my machine (single Pentium 4,
 2.79MHz 512MB).

 As a further datapoint or two, I telnet'ed in from my Linux machine and
 ran 'top'.  This showed StyledEdit using fully 100% of the cpu (105% at a
 few points!), with nothing else showing any significant usage.

 I also did a (remote) 'ps -a' while StyledEdit had the Haiku screen
 locked.  I couldn't see any high priority task associated with StyledEdit.
 (All it's threads were ~15-18.)

 Despite the fact that I could have top et al running remotely while Haiku
 was locked, trying my test (command-line-only) ToneProducer remotely
 didn't work any better than running from a Haiku Terminal -- silence with
 quite a few 'crackles' in both cases (and debug printout showing buffers
 late by --eventually -- 24 seconds!!).

 Obviously this shouldn't be happening, even if StyledEdit is going wild,
 because it is low priority, and both display and audio should be higher.
