In fact I have some MSDOSFS auto-mounting from /etc/fstab, but normally
not in active use (by me - as for what gnome-* are doing in the
background?).

Without those mounts the stuttering in glxgears when 'Harddisk' is
enabled in System Monitor is barely perceptible. The stuttering with
Network Monitor remains as do the other freezes.

I didn't have the same luck getting nvidia-driver working with
LOCK_PROFILING in RELENG_7 as I did with MUTEX_PROFILING in RELENG_6.
Looks like I'll have to test with nv or vesa driver instead, now.

I've also prepared a KTR testing kernel but in the process realise I
don't know which trace classes to include?
