[NTLUG:Discuss] sluggish mouse when burning dvd

[Jack Snodgrass]

My mouse starts to crawl ( and jump around the screen to catch up )  when I 
burn a DVD and try and use my mouse at the same time. The CPU load and CPU usage
are low, the browsing performance is fine, nothing seems 'slow' but
the mouse. As soon
as the DVD is done, mouse response is back to normal? This is a
optical mouse connected
via a PS2 type port. 

Anyone have any ideas?
