I wonder if you don't have a problem somewhere else: I tried on my

and use freecol. However, I did notice that, compared to work, I get
much more context switches on my home computer than here, which I
attributed to my video card.
Could you be more precise: is it really linked to freecol (the number
of cs really changes noticeably ?) ?
Yes, definitely. You can even see the difference between idling while you
are contemplating over cities' wealth, and doing the move, when the cs
count rises from ~100 to ~10000.
Could you try another graphical
Java application and check if that shows the problem (with the same

It is Sun Java 6. (icedtea crashes here)
Could you try to purge sun's java and reinstall it ? (I'm thinking it
might be due to local java configuration, but I'm not sure).
I tried that, without success.
