My entire system stops completely while unpacking large tar files, like when
building OpenOffice2.0-devel. Sound goes into a loop with a timeframe of
0.001 seconds, mouse pointer stops responding, everything goes to a halt.
This lasts about 0.5 seconds, then it starts working again, and then halts
again and so on, until the tarfile is completely uncompressed.

Is this expected behaviour? Is it a broken scheduler? Am I incuding somethi=
ng
in the kernel which I shouldn't have?

[jakobbg@nusse conf]$ grep -i sched /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/NUSSE=20
options         SCHED_4BSD              # 4BSD scheduler

Thanks in advance.
