I can assure you that the numerical simulations I run, along with the "make worlds", and compilations of gcc's tree-ssa branch stress the system. I re-install over 100 ports today and the load average was rarely below 5. I was use linux-opera and knews and sylpheed and several other program and noticed nor degradation in responsiveness. Does seti cause a problem if you are not running X (or KDE). > I haven't claimed ULE to be unstable though.

If ULE is destined to be the default scheduler in 5-stable, then we need to have more people test it. -- Steve
