I can't remember any change that could have caused this. OTOH I 
experience the same problems under real hardware. At first I thought 
the new direct message code was to blame, but turning it off didn't 
help at all.
If anyone has an idea which release brought these problems could save 
me some time :-)

That's probably related to some thread priority changes some weeks ago 
plus the new direct message passing. I'm more or less sure, though, 
that Haiku performance didn't feel that flaky afterwards (as it does 
now).
