But does that also affect desktop machines? I'm not under the impression that my CPU is running at a lower frequency. The issue I mentioned only seems to occur when doing larger block reads/writes from/to disk (SATA), like untarring firefox. I didn't notice it so far when some kind of mixed disk access is going on, like with find, compiling, etc. Maybe that points to some locking issues in the VM corner? I mean, it's not dramatic, but still makes the system appear a bit unpolished, when it happens. In the past, with pre-5.x releases, FreeBSD has been scheduling disk i/o and interactive work smoothly, in my experience, so one didn't quite notice when heavy disk access was going on, at least not if your interactive programs weren't doing much disk i/o themselves. mkb. _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
