I am running FreeBSD 4 stable on a Pentium II 300 with sufficient RAM,
I think. Nevertheless certain things are very, very slow. A buildworld
takes days. Also opening a large (18 MB file) with vi doesn't work out
for ages. (I am now waiting 5 minutes and still nothing to edit...)
Another thing that is very slow is fsck after the machine crashed.
Hours. Harddisks are reported to run as UDMA-33. So?
What can be the problem? Dmesg below.
Machine is collocated, so, please, no suggestions to take RAM out etc.
Thanks!
