blank screens for a few seconds
 

Well besides my Limewire acting EXTREMELY slowly (though I;m on ethernet and have a new fast computer), sometimes the screen goes blank for a few seconds and comes back. I can't do anything in those seconds and it seems to make everything slower. Help?!

Everyone seems to have this LimeWire problem under Mac OS X. The general concensus seems to be that it's related to Apple's implemenation of Java, so there's nothing LimeWire can do about it, short of rewriting the code as a Cocoa or Carbon application.
