Just for fun I ran 'top' during the said slow transfer, and it says -
load averages: 0.55, 0.20, 0.12 11:41:59 22 processes: 21 idle, 1 on processor CPU states: 0.2% user, 0.0% nice, 0.2% system, 0.8% interrupt, 98.9% idle Memory: Real: 8932K/100M act/tot Free: 904M Swap: 0K/2048M used/tot Can someone point me to the cvs commit that fixes 'hlt hlt'. I'm thinking (hoping) it could easily be applied on top of 3.7 Release. Andrew.
