Hmm, the Intel ICH7 chipset in the Intel iMac seems to suffer from the
"cntrl sharing DMA engine between channels" problem, so that Solaris
refuses to use DMA with the HDD:
PCI Express-device: pci8086,[EMAIL PROTECTED], pci_pci0

Reading from the HDD is killing GUI performance on the iMac, it seems...
