After turning it on, 'make buildworld': 3h37m12.24s real 2h56m32.37s user 34m20.62s sys still a little slower than before, but not the 4x degradation I experienced. I'm curious why you didn't see this on your Blade 100 didn't experience this as mine did. Could it be that you have no devices in your PCI slots and I have two SCSI cards? -- -- David (obrien@FreeBSD.org)
