OK, it's been niced, but it's a big bad mother with almost 100 buffers, of which one is 70K shy of 1 Meg, totalling 2.8 Meg I'm emacsifying. Which implies an up machine for: chrome 8466 % uptime 3:19PM up 24 days, 20:01, 7 users, load averages: 0.14, 0.07, 0.02 And over here in this window, ping's annoying the shit out of my ISP at 60 second intervals (they're having trouble originating a call to me): 64 bytes from w.x.y.z: icmp_seq=31575 ttl=252 time=44.803 ms That's a 526 hour (or 22 day) ISDN phone call. I *love* FreeBSD. jdl
