This is an old bug, I hate to say, and can be reproduced on something as beefy as a K7/900 machine (with fast SCSI disks) simply by running mkisofs. I mentioned it to John Dyson once and he mentioned something about things like mkisofs starving the rest of the paging system for I/O. - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
