I believe this may be somehow related to ULE->BSD scheduler change. A classic situation of where they now exist is when I switch virtual desktops back to another xterm. It takes 4-5 seconds before I can type. The machine is virtually 100% idle. Before beta3 this was not a problem with almost an instant response. Anyone else experiancing the same problems. They still exist in: FreeBSD draco.nodomain.yet 5.3-BETA7 FreeBSD 5.3-BETA7 #3: Wed Oct 6 16:16:49 CST 2004 benjsc@draco.nodomain.yet:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC i386 Anyone know of a good way of traking them down?
