Ok, I just killed top. And it still is skiping lots although I do not have any reniced jobs running. And yes, I had top running reniced too on -pre10. I will boot -pre10 and check if it is skipping because alsaplayer is currently skipping as hell (running make -j4 in the background). Still no swap used. Strange. I will check xmms also and let you know.
