It looks like there are a couple of cases where buildworld manages to get CPU bound for a significant period. I don't see this as a problem. >If there are any further complaints I will.

I haven't tried any other values. The real idle kthread has managed to clock up another minute of CPU time in the past 10 or so hours. Again, this seems reasonable. Thanks for the patch. --=20 Peter Jeremy Please excuse any delays as the result of my ISP's inability to implement an MTA that is either RFC2821-compliant or matches their claimed behaviour. --TybLhxa8M7aNoW+V Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.4 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFHfeD2/opHv/APuIcRAjR/AKCoBkSJjHivI1EzqpkyQ79HFjFrrgCguD1J 05UKyyWywcRYPwUdf/9RMyw= =mmkE -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --TybLhxa8M7aNoW+V--
