CPU is a single AMD Athlon 2427 6-core processor, with 4 Gig RAM. Filesystem is standard bsd ufs/ffs with softupdates on a 3.2 TB RAID5. As for 100%sys time, I didn't claim that. I just note the storage device da0 in the systat -vmstat screen is marked as 100% busy. > You can also collect more information: I'd recommend with either "iostat > -x 1" or "gstat". I'll append some stats.
