Are you listening to the CD Music? IF you are then THAT is the reason for the 
second or two that the action stops. It is caused when the CDROM drive 
switches from one sound track to another. The fix is simple, turn off the CD 
Music! Note that this is for IDE cdroms, and MAY not happen with SCSI cdroms. 
Want to take a guess at which type of CDROM Drive uses the most CPU time?
