well...i tried playing back a 1080p vide files while doing
`make -j64 buildkernel` and FreeBSD's interactivity seems far from perfect.

it might be possible that linux'es interactivity was worse than freebsd's,
but still this patch should be evaluated for freebsd. in this particular case
it seems linux now does better than freebsd.

cheers.
