It seems the 3DNow! copy routines have issues with the southbridge chip in the KT133A, this results in performances degrading while playing for a while. Re-compile your kernel without 3DNow! instructions to avoid the problem, and wait for newer kernels with better support for 3DNow! / KT133A. Anyone know further details on this and if it's in any way connected with the current K7 optimization problems in the kernel?
