Althought much better, KDE is still almost unusable, XFree and KDE startup takes a lot more time and starting plain xterm under KDE takes x3 time than usual. When I kill one of the seti processes, all comes down to normal. The one remaining seti process takes 53% of CPU constantly. Don't know how top calculates process CPU usage, but if the 100% is spread over the two processors, then the seti process monopolises one of the processors constantly. Doesn't matter will it run nice 19 or idprio 31. -- Vallo Kallaste To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
