FreeBSD PPP stuff for Brian Somers!

• ktrace.out.gz - a ktrace while the load was driven to 1.00. cvsup was running at the same time, but according to TOP, the CPU was 97% idle for this entire ktrace. Data was streaming in at full 33.6 speed on my USR sportster external. 16650 FIFO's. The download has been running for a few minutes before the load climbed up to 1 (it took about 45 seconds for the load to rise from .26 to 1.00). After about 5 minutes like this, the load slowly came back down to about .45 (which is still a little high if you ask me!). The machine seemed to be prefectly responsive during this whole affair, making me call this "artifial load bloat". The file is 882K.
• ktrace.out.good.gz - for reference a ktrace of ppp while behaving (i.e. the load stayed around .1 for so). 319K.

Finally, here's what top was saying when the load was runing high:
