If I Decompress large tar.gz archives (-tvzf) I see the lines of the screen stopping from time to time every 30 seconds, then the lines keeps back scrolling. Later I noticed the same behaviour using xosview. The cpu, mem, i/o and network stats are like to be frozen every 30 seconds then they keep running again and stopping again after 30 seconds, freezing for 1 second then again it continues running. When xosview freezes every 30 seconds there is a small but visible CPU peak (every 30 seconds). All this looks like weird. What it could be ?? thanks Rick To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
