My simple make benchmark now takes infinitely longer with ULE under SMP,
since make -j 16 with ULE under SMP now hangs nfs after about a minute.
4BSD works better.  However, some networking bugs have developed in the

panic in sbdrop() on shutdown.

It may be related to nfs processes not getting any cycles even when there
are no niced processes.
