I just updated to RELENG_7 from 6.2 and I'm running into

Re: SCHED_4BSD in RELENG_7 disturbs workflow
This happens both with 4BSD and ULE.

I seems to happen when I'm compiling ports and a new
cc/bzip2/sh process fires off (I'm just watching top), I'll
get the skip/freezeup.

Using ULE and UP kernel (i.e. without SMP etc.) helped a bit
the things but it's still very annoying to use firefox
during ports build.  I see this lag/freeze on all boxes I
use with 7.0, but it's true that with a fast machine people
can ignore the problem, it's less obvious than with a 1GHz
box for example.
Yeah, I'm still seeing this behavior.  Does anyone have
suggestions on debugging?

Thanks,
I did post the solution in this thread.
It has nothing to do with the mouse.
Does the problem persist for you? It's gone for me, even with
moused.
Yes, the problem seems to have been fixed.  I'm back to
kern.hz=1000 and removed FULL_PREEMPTION.  No skipping.
It looks like I spoke too soon.  I've just tried to compile miro and
as it was compiling the boost-python dependency I noticed the problem
again.  Switching kern.hz="100" seems to fix the problem.  Can any of
the developers in this area reproduce the issue?  It's pretty easy to
reproduce on my 1.33Ghz Athlon.

There is an ithread priority inversion bug that might be causing this.
The fix for that should be going in shortly.

Anish,

Can you confirm that this fix helped for you? i.e. do you still see the problem?

Kris
