Unfortunately, I have neither the brain capacity and time nor

face, ULE is not a silver bullet.
I think that piling up different problems into a single discussion, even if they
involve a common component (to a certain degree), is not going to help anybody.
If I have read this thread correctly (and taking the subject line as a witness)
the OP had a problem with heavy I/O activity screwing up interactivity.  I think
that it's not the same problem as sub-optimal performance of heavy CPU-bound
load, which is what you reported if I am not mistaken.


This is quibbling. On heavy loads on networ, disk et cetera, isn't there always and also
a CPU bound load?
Whenever this problem came up, it was brought down by force.

Yes, I reported due to the obvious fact that this essential problem involves usability of several workstations. It get more obvious when FreeBSD is used with a GUI. But I also realized, as I reported(!), problems on a headless server, even with several tunings, performed slowly and with increasing numbers over time as recommended here (for instance, kern.sched.preempt_thresh=224 or up to kern.sched.preempt_thresh=512, with little effect).

Where, if not here, should such problems be discussed? If we open for each dedicated micro-problem a separate thread, we would never gather that many problems which seem to be related to one single well known 'sweet spot'.
