Ragnar,

Have you read the thread at:

http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/pipermail/squeak-dev/2002-May/014121.html

I don't remember how the symptoms you described have been addressed in the
latest release.

I assume that you are using *nix. More than likely the Zurgle stuff isn't
causing the problem (it does not do anything to cause more idle events that
I know of).

Hope this helps,

Jim
