    OK, here are the answers to your questions in order sorry, it takes a
    while to generate this stuff as I have to reboot every time the mouse
    freezes. I am also CC'ing -STABLE to see if anybody else can get this
    to happen.

    I only lose the mouse during -heavy- disk activity. If I build a
    release, /usr/ports/distfiles (which is 1.6 gig on my machine and 810
    files) gets recursively copied into /usr/release. That's generally
    enough to absolutely kill the mouse.

    - I am attaching dmesg.boot and my kernel config. I have one
      optimization in /etc/make.conf,

      CPUTYPE=i686

      and also the following, which is only supposed to affect ports.

      # port optimized cflags?
      WITH_OPTIMIZED_CFLAGS=yes

      I am remaking world w/o the CPUTYPE right now, and will post results
      soon with the new kernel is an hour or so.

    1. I am definitely seeing systat -vmstat cruisng way past 64KB/t. I
        don't know if this is what is actually happening, but it's what I
        see. I also see about 150 TPS and 15 MB/s.

        Here are some numbers from stopping vmstat...

        KB/t 87.92
        tps 140 <- these numbers multiply out correctly,
        MB/s 12.02 assuming 1024 byte K.
        %busy 100 87.92 * 140 / 1024 = 12.0203125

        and interrupt at 3.9%, system at 9.9%

        Is there some way to capture vmstat screens? I tried 'script' and
        it's hash, and I can't use X - no mouse!

        This is with one disk, and no RAID.

    2. Interrupt is about 7%, saw it go to 10% once.

    3. No tagged queuing.

    4. Don't think I am running PIO. No DMA failure messages. I will run
    a recursive diff on the copy to see if there are any data errors.

    5. Problem is about the same, maybe a bit better lately.
