I too am seeing some stuttering with 0.18 on the Epia.  First it was due 
to DRM.  Once I got that resolved, it would stutter when starting up.  
When I first included support for the Epia (Unichrome) in KnoppMyth, CPU 
usage was 50% when using the CD as a frontend, now it is 92%.  Doing an 
install to hard drive uses the same amount.  If I compile on the Epia or 
use my i686 debs, CPU usage is about 50%.  Before, it was about 13%.  So 
something is amiss, I just cannot put my hands on it...
