Comment 4 for bug 371897

I'll run up the latest 1.1.20 packages from WineHQ and see if it makes
any difference. I don't think the processor is that taxed - usage is
in the 20% range. The first laptop is a brand new Acer Aspire Netbook
with a dual core Atom processor and the other laptop is a T5300 -
which isn't that much of a slouch.

The problem is more pronounced on the slower netbook while using the
USB Audio interface to the external DAC unit.

And regrettably I don't get any of these issues if I switch to the
Dark Side of the Force and run Spotify in Windows.
