| |
It looks like the console output slowdown may be back again in 2.1.42. I just reinstalled my system under the latest Slackware. I was running development kernels before, so I went ahead and upgraded what needed upgrading and then compiled 2.1.42.
When I rebooted I noticed a bit of a slowdown. It got *much* worse once I started compiling glibc 2.0.4. glibc is written in such a way that the scrolling from make's output is nearly continuous in some areas. When it hits those, console output may stop for several complete seconds before resuming. It isn't just the console output either. If I type an 'ls', for example, I won't see the 'ls' (or I'll hit enter and it'll pause), and then I'll see the output later.
Granted, it's possible I'm experiencing some wierdness with the new Slackware installation, but I somehow doubt it.
