Thank you very much, I will enable ACPI and try to understand what this vmstat -i is telling me -- I am not very knowledgeable about hardware. Because I sent the initial message by mistake to ports@, copy of this reply is going to [EMAIL PROTECTED] apps1# vmstat -i interrupt total rate irq7/ohci0 3 0 irq5/ehci0 128 0 irq10/pciide1 12694 6 irq5/azalia0 576 0 irq11/nfe0 3782 1 irq0/clock 195337 100 irq8/rtc 250015 128 Total 462535 237 I did not see anything unusual with top -- most of the time is being taken by cc1. I will try each of the suggestions from others as well -- MFS, softdep, using bsd.mp, etc. and see if that improves anything substantially and report back to the list.
