I've got two of them, one of which was just a testbed to play with the 
"alternative" firmwares. I settled on the Freeman firmware, and the one 
that I use actively seems to run just fine most of the time, but I 
occasionally run into what may be the same issue you're talking about. 
It seems to center around my WinXP box, because when the same box is 
booted into linux, it seems to run much better. However, keep in mind 
that's a purely subjective opinion, I've run no actual tests to confirm.
