Hmm, if bzip2 can't saturate the CPU, I would say it's probably waiting for disk reads/writes. > >The file is the most usual way to partition code. How else would you > >know where to look? > > True.

But I think that you would have to install the complete CVS repository to generate such a changelog. Besides, if you are not a programmer, would the checkin comments really mean anything to you? <snip> > 29 ?? WL 1:35.00 [irq19: skc0 atapci2] It looks like one of your disk controllers is sharing an interrupt with another device (network card? can't find a skc device, only sk). That might have something to do with your problem. Try disabling that device, and see if your troubles disappear. If so, you could try to add a device hint to have the skc device use another free interrupt line. See device.hints(5).
