    "some users over at the 2CPU forums have discovered an unexplained connection with audio playback (in Vista) resulting in a cap at approximately 5%-10% of total network throughput. Whenever any audio is being sent to a sound card (even, several users report, while paused), network performance is instantly reduced. As soon as the audio is stopped, the throughput begins to climb to its expected speed."
