Poor desktop responsiveness

[Michael Eager]

Hi --

I'm running Fedora 10 with KDE on a quad-core Intel system
(@ 2.4 Ghz), with 6Gb RAM.  I generally run Firefox with several
open windows and/or tabs, as well as Adobe acroread, and I'll
have a number of terminal windows open.  Zero swap is used
and cpu load is nowhere close to 100%.

Frequently, when I switch windows, there is a significant
delay in re-drawing the window and streaming audio stops
for a few seconds.

Is there anything that I can do to improve performance in
switching windows?
