Or what does it tell us ? Although it really looks strange too me that the machine is completely busy but not showing anything. Even if I do a time make -j 8 buildworld I see only in rare cases display of up to 8 cc1 processes but mostly no display. as and ccp processes I see never. Its really strange and I'm not completely convinced that everything is right. If I remember right it was on exactly the same machine P3 1 GHz where this behaviour changed. I think it was between FreeBSD 4 and 5. This machine here (amd64) 3000+ I only have since a few months.
