Not sure that I get the whole picture.
We have been running replication since about 4.0 and we have been through
several upgrades and are now at 5.0.27.
The 'show slave status' always gives us an accurate reflection of where it is
at which is usually 0 seconds behind.
Occasionally, it falls behind if the master is really busy (>2200 q/s with
about 70% being updates/deletes/inserts).
At those times the slave tops out at about 1200 q/s of which most are db mods
of some kind and some selects since we have reports running against the
replica and it will fall behind temporarily.
Can you send show slave status and show master status as well and typical
mytop outputs for master and slave?
That might let me be able to provide more help.

Unfortunatly I had to tear down replication as it was causing problems
with the master. (The master will not delete binlogs that a slave is
still loading, when the slave is 40 file behind disk gets short).
CPU load was near zero on both systems (98% idle or better).
Disk load is minimal.
The slave is always up to date with relay file processing and reporting
zero seconds behind.
In short, everything looks fine.
What happens is that the master -> slave binlog feed runs very slow (no
more than abount 10 writes/sec).
So, afer a few days the slave is still reporting zero seconds behind, and
it is zero seconds behind the relay log.
The problem is that while the master is currently writing binlog 650, the
slave is actually zero seconds behind the feed, but the binlog feed has
fallen 20 - 30 files behind (our binlog rolls at 256M).
Since there is no load issue, I expect there is a timing or trigger issue
with the master side proc doing the binlog dump, or the slave side
receiving it.
I can stop/start replication and/or reload both servers, it still holds.
I see the replication restart, with the slave running zero seconds behind
the relay log, the binlog feed starts up right where it left off but the
feed only runs at about 10 writes a second.
Are your running native or LinuxThreads? This is smelling like threading
issue to me (we are running FreeBSD 6.2 with native threading and 5.1.19).
The exact same setup was pre-built on Linux systems (2.6.x Slackware)
before being built out on the production systems (FreeBSD 6.2).
During the testing 1000 writes/sec were no problem (small/simple table,
fits in memory). When I forced a backlog of approx 2GB by shuttong down
the slave on restart the binlog -> relay log feed ran at over 25MB/sec
until caught up.
