I have tried Snd with Guile 1.9 with and without the Boehm GC on the same
two computers (amd xp3000 and intel mac MP 1.3gz) using the same version
of Snd (8.4/snd-ls 0.9.7.12). And my experiences are as follows:

This is the same behaviour for both versions of guile. On the MP machine,
there is never any glips at all, on the other there are some.

Large difference. Without the Boehm GC, graphic freezes for about 0.5
seconds each 4th seconds. Very frustrating, just as with guile 1.8.1, but
better than 1.6.x though. With the Boehm GC, on the other hand: no freeze
at all.
Conclusion: Guile with the Boehm GC seems to improve interactivety for
one guile programs by a large amount, somehow. It would be nice if
the Boehm GC was used in guile 1.8 as well, and enabled by default.
