# > 2. sluggishness
# I'm running UP - perhaps something SMP is broken?
Perhaps. Because under 2.1.119 everything feels as I expect it would.
There is a truly noticable different between .119 & .120 (to me).

Sometimes once every 7 seconds (or whatever the timeout is). Sometimes, it
will transmit a single packet, timeout, transmit another single packet,
timeout ... <ugh!> Very nasty.

# If this a heavily loaded ethernet segment?
How bout a completely UNLOADED segment? Ie, my two machines are the ONLY
two machines? This isn't true, I have about 7 boxes on my localnet, but
there is almost no traffic, and for my tests I just disconnected the other
machines from my hub [which I am now suspecting as being crap].
# OK - can you copy from one to the other under 2.0.34?
Errrr..... I'm hesitant to boot into 2.0.x, but I will see what happens.

# Can you please explain `doesn't work'?
Ie, / doesn't get unmounted. (/ is busy). Its a known problem. Someone
said because /etc/ld.so.cache is being held or something.
G'day!
