The odd thing is that I just switched from an old 4.12 box with dual xeon (only 2 processors) with 4 gb of ram to the 6.2 with the extra ram and dual core dual zeons (technically twice the cpus:) and 4* the ram.... This one is dying and the other older "so called slower" system works much better with as close to the same configuration as I can make it. I have to assume something is wrong here but I will keep digging as this is not even workable. The system cpu is still high if I get rid of the memory drive and have it save on the disks. It takes a lifetime to build a kernel now... Any way I can view what is made up of the 50-70% system cpu to be able to pinpoint the bottleneck? I have tried to trim down the ipfw rules to see if this was the culprit but this does not seem to be making a difference so far. Thanks Paul
