Hello,
Recently I took some time to upgrade my home 4.9 system to 5.3-RELEASE (fortunately, taking full system dump before, so I can easily get back). In fact just after upgrading I ran into the weird issue during installation for firefox port.
When firefox-1.0-source.tar.bz2 is getting untared, the system starts to be *slow*: any music starts to be jittered and the cursor in X stalls from time to time for ~1 second.
And I never had this issue before with 4.x serie.
I tried to boot with an without ACPI, with GENERIC kernel, with my "own"
kernel configuration (GENERIC with removed unused SCSI/RAID/NIC drivers)
both with and without PREEMPTION[1]. Without any visible change in system's
behaviour.
<snip>
I am also experiencing the same issue on my 5.3-STABLE workstation (last buildworld 11/15/2004). In addition to disabling/enabling ACPI and kernel tweaks, it have set my ata channels from UDMA100 to PIO4 with no change (I would have expected higher load). It appears any moderately intensive disk i/o (ie extracting mozilla source) will have a unusual high impact on system load. I can provide any additional information if needed.
Thanks in advance.
