Experience gained from listening to music while programming in cafis :
iTunes consistently drops out for me when Codewarrior writes a binary to
disk. This is on a Pismo with 192Mb, so perhaps it is paging iTunes out
briefly in which case that says nothing about the threading. In general
Codewarrior seems to hog the processor though. The machine's
responsiveness drops to near zero during a heavy optimize, but iTunes
still plays. It only drops out when Codewarrior writes a binary to disk.
Another problem is that system beeps nearly always glitch for me.
Probably a problem of trying to play while simultaneously being paged
back in.
