Have you tried just leaving it when it freezes? I had, a long time ago when I
was just beginning with Myth, a similar problem. It turned out that if I left
the system alone, after it apparently hung, the keypress(es) I had made would
suddenly get actioned after more than a *minute*.
As you must surely know, there's a difference between "actually hung" and "just
*****mned slow".
I sort of solved mine by various rebuilds and changes to drivers, etc. The
answer on 0.21 might be different.
