Have you tried just leaving it when it freezes? I had, a long time ago when I 
was just beginning with Myth, a similar problem. It turned out that if I left 
the system alone, after it apparently hung, the keypress(es) I had made would 
suddenly get actioned after more than a *minute*.

As you must surely know, there's a difference between "actually hung" and "just 
*****mned slow".

I sort of solved mine by various rebuilds and changes to drivers, etc. The 
answer on 0.21 might be different.
