Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I have found that the "logo" screen saver on my P75 box running 3.2-RELEASE causes the network I/O to slow down to a horribly clunky crawl... Has anyone observed a similar correlation? I changed net cards (NE2000 to Etherlink III) and it had no obvious effect. When the screen saver is not active, my throughput on a quiet 10BaseT net is between 750 and 1000 kb/s . When the screen saver is active, I get about 20 kb/s if I'm lucky, it is very bursty as well. Besides avoiding this saver, is there anything else someone can suggest? To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
