Something changed. When looking with top (logged in with ssh on an other 
computer) I see that
when running Bounce the cpu is at 100%, with 60-65% on X (!!!) and only 
30-35% on Bounce.hi
It seems something is hogging X.
This is on joyride-2379
Under 8.1 the X consumption is far less and Bounce updates smoothly.

I also tried Bridge (Daniels physics jam game). On 2379 no sound. On 
Update 1 Bridge works with sound.
Same for Bounce, no sound in 8.2, sound in 8.1.
Something with pygame/olpcgame sound ???
