I just wanted to add in that I am having the exact same problems. In short: Anything that seems disk intensive: bzip2 (unbzip2ing one big file makes this happen), making world, building ports, etc makes my X environment practically unusable. Mouse stutters, reaction times is very slow, feels 10x more sluggish than normal. (I'm running KDE if anyone is curious). I rebuilt my kernel today (running yesterday's world) with SCHED_4BSD instead, and things are much better. System is much much more responsive. If there's any tests I can run, or anyone I should talk to, I'd love to be of assistance, thanks much, Scott
