Re: Packet loss every 30.999 seconds

I got an almost identical delay (with 64000 vnodes).

Now, 17ms isn't much.

Says you. On modern systems, trying to run a pseudo real-time application
on an otherwise quiescent system, 17ms is just short of an eternity. I agree
that the syncer should be preemptable (which is what my bandaid patch
attempts to do), but that probably wouldn't have helped my specific problem
since my application was a user process, not a kernel thread.

One more followup (I swear I'm done, really!)... I have a laptop here
that runs at 150MHz when it is in the lowest running CPU power save mode.
At that speed, this bug causes a delay of more than 300ms and is enough
to cause loss of keyboard input. I have to switch into high speed mode
before I try to type anything, else I end up with random typos. Very
annoying.
