Based on that, I don't imagine trying to drop the resolution is really
going to help.
I can only relate my experience from OmniOS which also uses the BSD
loader. Going from the default (24 bit color) to 8 bit via loader
configuration parameters improved console speed dramatically.
There were some palette bugs in 8 bit mode which Toomas Soome has all
fixed now.
@Chris: Do try to set console resolution to 8 bit and see if it improves
things for you. You need to create the directory /boot/conf.d if it
doesn't already exist, and add the following
loader_resolution=1280x1024x8
boot_resolution=1280x1024x8
Thanks for your reply, Volker!
I dumped the above 2 lines to /boot/loader.conf (actually 1920x1200)
but they were ignored.
tem.fg_color="green"
to a file (the name is your choice). Adapt the resolution to your box.
Of course the last line may not be to your taste ;-)
Thanks for the info. I didn't realize (some of) loader had been imported
from recent(ish) BSD.
