One of the best demos I've ever done with OS/2 is to format a floppy in the background and then run an avi or other "real time" task in the forground. OS/2 doesn't skip a beat, formats the floppy just as fast as under DOS, and your mouse pointer never freezes. Under FreeBSD, I get "jerky" system behavior at best. Does anyone know why we have this problem and how it can be fixed? __ Justin T.
