wow, applewin hogs the cpu.  Winamp is st--ut--ter--ing--ing---ing--ing

I noticed the same the other day in the AppleWin debugger, when pressing SPACE (and holding) to step through code, it gets the stutters in winamp.

Might be time to get a new PC :-)  256megabytes for windows XP is (cough) not enough.  I wish all my laptops had decent LCDs, they are maxed out dual core machines.
