This is on 2.1.6R, and XF32.  Whenever a job is being sent to the
printer, the mouse & keyboard display very noticeable hesitations in
responding.  Key events don't get lost, though mouse clicks
occasionally do.

lpd is running.  It's a custom kernel, and the lp line is

   device          lpt0    at isa? port? tty irq 7 vector lptintr

which is straight from LINT. Any ideas?
