Hello (World). I've recently moved from FreeBSD 5.1-RELEASE to 5.1-CURRENT (from September 21) and noticed some strange changes in my system responsiveness (using identical kernel configs).
Some applications, like games/fuhquake, Quake3 and SETI seem to run faster (I get better FPS in games and my SETI WU crunching time has slightly decreased). However, in many cases, the results have been less then good: Starting applications (XFree, Evolution, Mozilla, OpenOffice, games) takes a noticably longer time than it used to, I'd say that Mozilla Firebird load times have increased by about 30-40%. I can also now see "jerkiness" in switching between applications. When Alt-Tabbing between Firebird, OpenOffice and Evolution, the windows appear half-drawn for a second or two. When I play music (MP3 and/or OGG) in XMMS and try to drag the position indicator forward/backward to go to that specific part of the track, it now takes 2-3 seconds until it actually "switches" to that part of the track and starts playing it, even though with 5.1-RELEASE that was happening instantly. Am I doing something wrong or is this to be expected ? Unfortunately I have no webspace to post my dmesg and kernel config on, but if any of you people want them, I can send them attached to a private mail.
