I just now checked out the lavatory floor and responsiveness issues on my 32MB v3alpha8 player with Hijack vlatest, and no such problem.

Sure, the lavatory floor still crashes the player (nothing I can do about that), but it restarts and carries on by itself (courtesy of Hijack).

And during disk-read-ahead, responsiveness is only 70-85% of normal, but that beats the 0% that it gives without Hijack.

Cheers
