I have recently run into a problem with the gconftool-2 service that
comes with gnome2.
When I go into X I get a gcond process that runs out of control.
If I try to install ports that require the gconftool-2 to run the port
will fail to install.
The error message I see is this
gconftool-2 in fr
nteresting ever shows up
in the 'harvesting' area.
cheers,

The code is there, look at src/sys/vm/vm_pageout.c, line

e" is under control of the folks who write
the OS.
You need preemption for userspace because it's possibly "hostile"
software, but things like the interrupt handlers and the kernel
code are under your control ... this means you can code it to be
as efficient as possible with
can (while not wasting CPU on
taking in packets it cannot process higher up the stack).

Exactly.
It makes absolutely no sense to optimise mutexes for the case
of having contention. If you have contention, you need to fix
the contention, not introduce all kinds of singing-dancing cool
things you can do when contention happens.
