Hello,

I use OpenBSD amd64 snapshots on the following dmesg hardware.
The download rate on a browser was slow and I figured out with some
memory mapped partition that disk transfer rate was slow.
I can bear this since I'm not into large file transfer business. But
here is another interesting fact: each time my disk is used by some
file transfer, all the running applications, mostly GUI based are
stalling - that includes mostly chromium ( even if it is not chromium
that it does the disk data transfer).

My questions are: is something incorrectly set up on my computer,
regarding the multitasking?
I understand disk operations are slow, but may I say that kernel is
dragged in that slow transfer too (no DMA, no cache, etc.)?
Does this happens to all users, but since there are more powerful
configuration involved the delay is not so noticeable?

I know it is hard to project this, but can someone give me a hint
about a minimum hardware to allow using chromium with no delays,
please?
I know, it should be advisable to get the maximum performance
hardware, but i'm not in that case.
