And another! This one about 3 or 4 seconds.
The profile from the last minute is here:

This one shows a long hold_avg (I meant hold_avg in the previous
message, too) for:
/usr/src/sys/kern/vfs_vnops.c:515 (lockmgr:ufs)
-jr
In both of these cases there is a non-mpsafe interrupt (probably your
mouse) blocked on a sysctl call (both of these require Giant). That
would be fixed once sysctl no longer requires Giant (hopefully before
7.1, I have a WIP), or once someone makes the psm driver mpsafe. I
don't think it accounts for a multi-second pause though. Probably a
sched_graph trace will also be required to diagnose that better.
