This can be related to which output plugin you select (Preferences ->
Audio I/O).  I have found that the artsd plugin in particular is laggy. 
There should also be settings to change the buffer size, so you may want
to try that first.  For the normal OSS driver (out to /dev/dsp), the
buffer controls are inside XMMS.  For artsd, the controls are inside the
KDE config.  I'm sure you can find similar settings for other audio
servers (esd, etc).
