I did two things in an attempt to make things better:
1) Changed SETI to a nice=19
OK, that definitely made a difference. Setting seti to nice=19 made it much less unusable, but still too slow. stopping seti altogether, that helped.
2) Rebuilt the kernel to my liking.
Doing that right now to see if it will further help. In both SuSE 8.0 and 8.1 I had seti running 24/7 with nice=1 and I had no visible effect on anything but Quake3 and Wolfenstein. Openoffice always worked very nicely.
Me too... That is, in 8.0 I was running SETI at nice=2 with no problems. And even more strange, I was running a 2.4.20 kernel (same as 8.2) at the time... so one would think it is not a kernel issue with 8.2.
Thanks, will report back once I have the new kernel going
