Installed current as of yesterday, and noticed something quite odd. Things are pokey slow, hit a key and wait a second or more for it to appear on the screen. Long load time,takes forever to shut down all the processes, as a whole it's crawling. However if the system is doing almost anything, like compiling a port or recompiling the kernel, or just downloading a file during a port, then things are what I'd consider a normal response. I recompiled the kernel and removed all the various debugging options, same symptoms. I recompiled with SMP removed, the kernel no longer finds 2 CPUs, but the same issue. This was a 6.2 to 7 upgrade (using mergemaster, etc), I haven't tried to a straight current install as of yet. Any suggestions on what I should try to correct this behavior? Thanks, Keith
