I do a select operation and watch the CPU peg for several seconds. I have seen it take over 10 seconds of 95% CPU on a 1 GHz P3 to do the select. (Paste has never shown any problem.) My main question is whether this is FreeBSD specific or if it happens on Linux boxes, as well. I really should do some profiling, but it seems intermittent and seems more likely to happen when the terminal has been up for a while. I suspect it is linked to the length of the scroll-back buffer. I use VERY long ones, usually over 4000 lines. -- R. Kevin Oberman, Network Engineer Energy Sciences Network (ESnet) Ernest O.
