When copying directory trees between two IDE drives on the PCI bus, the
system really dogs down -- emacs takes 15 seconds to come up when normally
it takes 1 -- didn't do that on 3.0-RELEASE.  I have these drives configed
up for DMA:

   controller      wdc0    at isa? port "IO_WD1" bio irq 14 flags 0xa0ffa0ff
   disk            wd0     at wdc0 drive 0
   disk            wd1     at wdc0 drive 1

   controller      wdc1    at isa? port "IO_WD2" bio irq 15 flags 0xa0ffa0ff
   disk            wd2     at wdc1 drive 0
   disk            wd3     at wdc1 drive 1

These are stock IBM Deskstar drives:

   wdc0 at 0x1f0-0x1f7 irq 14 flags 0xa0ffa0ff on isa
   wdc0: unit 0 (wd0): <IBM-DHEA-38451>, DMA, 32-bit, multi-block-16
   wd0: 8063MB (16514064 sectors), 16383 cyls, 16 heads, 63 S/T, 512 B/S
   wdc0: unit 1 (wd1): <IBM-DTTA-350840>, DMA, 32-bit, multi-block-16
   wd1: 8063MB (16514064 sectors), 16383 cyls, 16 heads, 63 S/T, 512 B/S


Any thoughts?

Randall
