I don't think its the jiffies, I've not had hardly any of the problems that are described in the post you linked to. In over a month I've had 2 lockups on boot when it said "Loading playlists." They both happened when it was in the car and there was no error message. I pulled the player out and put it back in and it ran fine. The only other problem I've had is not rebooting on a sync which is a known bug for beta 11. I simply pull the power when it does't look like its going to reboot and manually reboot, the emplode software continues to work fine.

I doesn't sound like the problems these people have been having with the jiffies, but if you think I'm wrong, please tell me so.

Thanks,
Daniel
