Guys can you please check if you have HAL daemon running? When I switched it off my system got some hickups but is far more responsive.. maybe this is another cause? -- CeDeROM, SQ7MHZ, http://www.tomek.cedro.info ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing

I am not sure if this is the case of external drive, it only helped us to figure out that problem is with writing to ICH SATA - WDC configuration. It was also slow in 9.0 I guess, this is why I have switched from Ext2 to UFS2 to get some speedup, so things are lets say acceptable for the Atari fan
