OK i have seen that before. it's the ACPI code doing CPU throttling.
(OK, obviously, hehe.)

What i don't understand and haven't solved is why it throttles so
early (for me) to the point that int he middle of a compile (which is
definitely NOT when you want it done <grin>) when the load on the
system, is definitely high enough to keep throttling from being
needed. It's almost like (and anyone working on the ACPI code PLEASE
do comment) whatever variable is responsible for the timing AND the
differential for check times is screwy.

That's all I have for now, meanwhile time for me to beat my head on
why the hell BETA5 is screwing up on an installworld with touch: file
not found for newvars.sh which exists in the directory it's trying TO
copy from.
