(Get the code!)
This is a HUGE regression. I left a karmic desktop turned on overnight. In the morning I was trying to figure out why my computer was so slow. It turns out that pdflush was writing data to disk (swap) as fast as possible and was stuck in IO Wait (D state in ps aux). pulseaudio was taking almost 80% of my 8G of memory. Not cool.

This should be a release blocker.
