Creating files (e.g. by copying something) to a fat32 mount locks up the whole system for a moment. This is best witnessed when copying many files. With slow files the mouse will start to feel jaggy and music plays slower. When creating large files, you'll actually hear the music freeze (which sounds quite nasty) and see that the whole X session freezes (i.e. no mouse movement and the screen is entirely frozen). I have this problem ever since I switched from RELENG_6 to RELENG_7. I didn't find a PR about it, should I create one?
