Wow, that would be really nice. I notice whenever I compress something
like a backup of my Thunderbird Inbox files (several hundred megs) in
bzip2 format it goes nowhere near 100% or even 90% CPU usage. The
problems I am talking about occur even when CPU usage is real low as
well. :-\
Hmm, if bzip2 can't saturate the CPU, I would say it's probably waiting
for disk reads/writes.
The drives I was trying to compress from/to are both brand new 200GB
Maxtor 7200RPM ATA133 drives. Maybe that has something to do with the
bad controller on this series of boards.

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).
Looks like it is the network card. Would disabling that in the BIOS mess
anything up in FreeBSD? With it disabled I couldn't test the streaming,
but could try playing files.

I'm also compiling STABLE on that other 5.4-RELEASE i386 machine that
had the same problems while I was using it for that month. I'm going to
see if that helps that machine out any. Here is the IRQ output from that
machine:
