I agree, and am THRILLED that you see the same behavior! I was going NUTS with this backtick. I think it's a problem with the keyboard interface, since even under Windows the keyboard becomes unresponsive sometimes (requiring me to pull the connector and reinsert). This is speculation, of course, since I can't tie the two symptoms together, but there ya go. I've got -STABLE running on a Dell Precision dual-Xeon machine now, and it screams. Buildworld takes 35 minutes, and that's w/o MFS, which should speed things up even more (? I've been told that, anyway). I've been running FreeBSD on Dells for 4 years now and have had no problems at all.
