I am seeing really weird system freeze for 2-3 seconds every minute or so.
% uname -a
FreeBSD flymockour-l7.corp.yahoo.com 10.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 10.0-CURRENT #2

Simple comands like "man top" hangs and this is what I see in ctrl+T
% man top
load: 1.59 cmd: zcat 76574 [*kmem arena] 2.16r 0.00u 1.82s 16% 2000k
load: 1.70 cmd: zcat 76574 [*kmem arena] 7.19r 0.00u 1.82s 7% 2000k
load: 1.89 cmd: zcat 76574 [*kmem arena] 12.58r 0.00u 1.82s 3% 2000k
load: 1.90 cmd: zcat 76574 [*kmem arena] 14.58r 0.00u 1.82s 2% 2000k
I see similar things while trying to "exit" a terminal window.
I see following in pmcstat:
PMC: [INSTR_RETIRED_ANY] Samples: 117647 (100.0%) , 6885 unresolved
%SAMP CALLTREE
75.9 fork_exit at kernel taskqueue_thread_loop taskqueue_run_locked
vmem_periodic(75.9%)
I am not running anything funny and I do not see anything weird in "top"
too.
Any help is appreciated.
cheers,
Hiren
