You are positively wrong, then. :-) Active pages are _always_ last resort with the algorithm FreeBSD uses. You mention Netscape is the only active application on another mail... Well, there is X too, isn't there? > Has anyone done any thinking about this behaviour? It occurs with > varying degree to many applications. I have only seen something like this with Netscape. I could probably trace it to Netscape running Java or Javascript, but I have never tried. Alas, in my case this is MUCH worse, as the APA-1460 where Netscape (and a lot of other applications) is consumes freaking amounts of CPU, which results in trashing. -- Daniel C.
