I know this is to be expected, but it's gotten so extreme on my system, I can't spend more than a few minutes before it locks up. Is there any chance that I could make things better by using a sysctl to tell the box it's now a single-cpu system? I can't read man pages at the moment (I'm composing this on my Sparc Ultra-5) so if this might work, and someone knows the exact command to use, I'd appreciate a bit of help. Otherwise, I'm going to have to go to a lot of trouble to move back to a pre-SMPNG system, and I sure don't want to do that. Thanks Chuck (who doesn't even have his .sig now!)
