My patches may help with this, but they are a lot more than just a single
change, they are an overhaul of the interrupt threads code. :) If you are

http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/patches/sys.patch. Currently, however, they reduce
the system to a crawl. Well, at least console I/O feels like a 2400 baud
modem. I'm even losing characters on the keyboard. :(
