Subject:   Dual P5 slowdown between 4.3 and 4.4
Message-ID:  <20010925195153.A53387@peitho.fxp.org>

I just updated my Dual Pentium (P54C) box from RELENG_4_3 to
RELENG_4 and have found that the box is significantly slower
when running an SMP kernel versus UP.  Under 4.3, an SMP -j4
buildworld took just over 4.5 hours.  It now takes upwards
of 20 hours w/SMP and 6 (no -j) UP.  When logging in and
running basic commands the system seems quite sluggish.

Where should I start looking?
