[App_rpt-users] Distorted audio in app_rpt/Allstar

I just noticed this...

>when it does that the system is at less than 35% CPU and still has about 3GB of RAM open (this is on a 4GB system)

so I checked my atom d510mo system and it seems to always be at 1% CPU
or less.  So why is yours running 35%?  You must have something other
than the normal ACID install running to have it that high with a dual
core 2+GHZ cpu.
