Same here (duron 1.2GHz, 512MB ram, IDE disks (via and promise controllers))
and it doesn't matter if I'm using cryptoloop or dm-crypt.
System hangs for about one seconds (xmms stops playing, xterms are not
responding to key presses) and then everything back to normal until next hang
happens (in few seconds).
