OK, got the box. I ran a 5.4-RELEASE, identical (as I just restored dumps of my current workstation on it) as the one not giving problems on Intel-based system. Regardless of the state of USB, I can observe the mentioned issues (scattered sound, lagging mouse in X, etc while untarring firefox's sources). With USB, vmstat -i shows: interrupt total rate irq1: atkbd0 904 2 irq3: sio1 1 0 irq4: sio0 1 0 irq6: fdc0 10 0 irq8: rtc 56478 127 irq12: psm0 4912 11 irq13: npx0 1 0 irq14: ata0 8529 19 irq15: ata1 63 0 irq16: fxp0 uhci1 437384 987 irq17: pcm0 1576 3 irq0: clk 441323 996 Total 951182 2147 ... and without it: interrupt total rate irq1: atkbd0 164 1 irq3: sio1 1 0 irq4: sio0 1 0 irq6: fdc0 10 0 irq8: rtc 19340 127 irq12: psm0 7005 46 irq13: npx0 1 0 irq14: ata0 18731 123 irq15: ata1 61 0 irq16: fxp0 132 0 irq17: pcm0 2448 16 irq0: clk 151117 994 Total 199011 1309 cvsup-ing current 6.0-CURRENT right now, to check the giantless VFS once again. It will probably take an hour to get it up and running. If you have any more ideas, while I still have the box, I'd be willing to try, time permitting. -- Krzysztof Kowalik | () ASCII Ribbon Campaign Computer Center, AGH UST | /\ Support plain text e-mail
