ktrdumps for masochists (a dump with KTR_ENTRIES=524288)

In an attempt to obtain a ktrdump from one of these lengthy (1-2s) freezes I'm seeing when moving an active window running glxgears, I configured a kernel with a 512k ktr buffer size. I still couldn't catch any significant part of the event because of the high rate of context-switching with

Kris, Latest captures (of interest) - they're not hard to come by, it seems. I see more than a couple of these every hour at least while I'm actively doing anything on this system, and I've witnessed up to two or three times that many at times. It seems my initial glee about catching Epiphany

Kris, I caught this one during what I'd class as normal usage, with a handful of apps open, and no glxgears or other glx apps (intentionally) running. It shows Epiphany getting cpu solidly for 2 seconds! If you crank up the ticks per pixel and scroll to the end you can't miss it. This typifies
