Not with me. Milne gets the stutters. It will freeze, fill up the 
buffer(s) and just sit there. Afew seconds later, maybe 5 or so, 
everything in the buffer(s) gets done.

I have had hard freezes, but only after ru7nning openGL screen saver. It 
may freeze with the screen saver or not, but will at some point. X goes 
to 100%. Ssh into it ( most times, not all ) restart the DM *and* kill X.

Stopped using the GL screensaver. Now I only get the stutters. No idea 
as to why. I could be in firefox or an ssh session or any number of 
other things.

I *suspect* X, but I'm not ready to accuse it..... yet.
