I recently upgraded from Hardy to Intrepid and noticed this problem (although I'm using totem rather than rhythmbox).

I suspected pulseaudio but disabling this (by killing the process) made no difference.

My MP3s are on an external USB drive so it's not a hard disk contention issue.

What did make a difference was turning off compiz (System > Preferences > Appearance > Visual Effects / Normal -> None) which I had turned on after upgrading. This solved the problem completely.

I'm using a Dell D420 laptop with an Intel chip:

00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS/GME, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03)

Possibly related to this bug?
