Over about five hours of downloading to my laptop, my main workstation lost close to 3.5 hours of time off its clock. During pulses of IO, the mouse also becomes very sluggish under X. I'd expect some slowdown because FreeBSD doesn't appear to use the DMA channel, but I never expected to see the affect on the clock--e.g., this message will say about 8:30 when the real time here is more like 12:00. Sounds like a bug to me . . . Any thoughts on how to work around/solve this? jmc To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
