Hi,

Thanks for the tip, this seems to do the trick.

Tested it with /usr/ports/sysutils/stress:

root@piglet(ttyp7:42:0):/shared# stress --cpu 8 --io 4 --vm 2 --vm-bytes 
128M --hdd 4 --timeout 10m
stress: info: [2439] dispatching hogs: 8 cpu, 4 io, 2 vm, 4 hdd

and heard no more skips.

Greetings,
Sebastiaan van Erk
