Hi,
A good way to slow down Hurd, and make X hang, is to run this small
shell script:
#!/bin/sh
while true
do
ls -alni /dev >/dev/null 2>&1
sleep 2
echo -n '.'
done
After about 2 dots the system is very slow. The network (but this could
be the tty, I dunno) results in noticable more delay than normally --
using telnet is quite frustrating as you have to wait for about 2
seconds for the echo of the character. Using X is impossible as both the
kbd as the mouse translator act weird: cat /dev/mouse and then moving
the mouse will print garbage untill you ls the /dev dir ....
Could it be that the translators do not expect to receive a message when
they are already used?
Erik.
