No. Another observation, running two instances of while true; do true; done (on 1 dual core cpu) does not break interactivity. running make clean; make -j2 in kernel tree breaks interactivity terribly. Looks like disk I/O activity is needed to break interactivity. While compiling, I have more than 1GB of RAM free. One friend of mine suggests that kernel is swapping out binaries which causes non-interactivity. The swaparea is clean, though. He also reports that the behavior can be seen even in 2.6.24-rc8. -- Lukáš Hejtmánek -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
