Howdy, I use -current on my laptop as my regular X platform, and for the last few months I've been noticing that interactivity problems have been getting a lot worse, by which I mean that if I have something running in the background that is either disk or cpu intensive, anything else I try to do on the system suffers. The most usual symptom is painfully slow refresh times on windows, skipping audio, jumpy mouse, etc. These problems persist even if I nice the hungry process. My kernel conf is a typical GENERIC minus stuff I don't have. You can see the diff to GENERIC at http://people.freebsd.org/~dougb/kernel-conf.diff My loader.conf: umass_load="yes" coretemp_load="yes" linux_load="YES" nvidia_load="YES" if_wpi_load="YES" /etc/sysctl.conf debug.debugger_on_panic=0 kern.module_path=/boot/kernel;/boot/modules;/usr/local/modules No malloc.conf or libmap.conf. The only diff in my src tree is a patch from mav vs. his latest timer update. All in all this is a very GENERIC system, pardon the pun. :) Is anyone else seeing this problem? Does anyone have suggestions?
