Wes, will you please try removing "#define KMEM_DEBUG" from: src/sys/cddl/compat/opensolaris/kern/opensolaris_kmem.c This is the likely cause of the performance problems you are seeing. It is also the reason why you needed to add DDB, DBB and stack to the kernel. The quickest way to try this is to just build the 'opensolaris' kernel module: (keep a copy of your current /boot/kernel) cd src/sys/modules/opensolaris make obj && make depend && make all && make install -- John Birrell
