I am not ultra sure about the slow down between 2.1.92 and 2.1.94 but it
sure seems it has.

Anyway, Alan Cox, I am sorry to tell you this but the sound is still
fried.

It does seem to be better than it was in 2.1.92 but still as bad as
2.1.91 and not any where near as good as 2.1.88, 2.1.86 and 2.0.33.

Question: The SB16 stuff is in the kernel (not modular), would the fact
my start up files still load kerneld and I sometimes forget to kill it
affect sound or the apparent speed of 2.1.94 and 2.1.92/91?
