I'll take that as a compliment.

I experience the same behavior.

I have found that if I insert an audio CD, start it playing, and then
stop it, pause it, or change tracks, the slowness is much reduced until
the next reboot. I don't know why this works.

Has anyone else experienced this problem? I suspect it only occurs on
iMacs/blue&white G3s, because our iMac has the problem, but our 6500/250
does not.

BTW, I believe that the slowdown is occuring at the call to
WaitNextEvent().
