I filed this against ia32-libs because Skype is not an Ubuntu package
and even the ostensibly 64-bit package uses the 32-bit libs. Whenever I
run Skype, I find that other apps, and my entire desktop, slow
considerably: the mouse movement is inconsistent and there is sometimes
several seconds between my moving the mouse and the pointer moving. When
I type into the terminal, the keypresses often do not register
immediately. Killing Skype solves the problem, but several seconds
elapse between my typing "killall skype" and Skype disappearing (this is
very unusual - the result is usually instantaneous). This started
happening about a week ago and I have been using Precise since around
beta 2.
