Just installed SuSE 10. Amarok, which was a fairly nice application in 9.3, will "freeze" for about 5, 10 seconds whenever I do anything, such as queue a track, add media, or use the sidebar.

I'd wager you have a HyperThreading CPU and have not updated to Amarok 1.3.6 (available from Guru's RPM repository). The developers discovered an incompatibility w.r.t. HT CPUs. There was even an interim release in which Amarok diagnosed the presence of an HT CPU and told you not to run it. Shortly thereafter the fix was devised and release.

Thanks.

Let us know if upgrading fixes the problem, OK?
