Another data point: I'm getting stalls in mplayer. I'm assuming the stalls occur when procmail runs messages through spamprobe, as the system is otherwise idle. The stalls continue to occur (and I'm not sure that they aren't worse) when X and/or mplayer are reniced to negative nice levels.
This is on a dual core amd64 system running 2.6.20.3 with rsdl 0.31. Admittedly I'm also running the nvidia binary driver with X. -- The universe hates you, but don't worry - it's nothing personal. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
