Using ULE and UP kernel (i.e. without SMP etc.) helped a bit the things
but it's still very annoying to use firefox during ports build.  I see
this lag/freeze on all boxes I use with 7.0, but it's true that with a
fast machine people can ignore the problem, it's less obvious than with
a 1GHz box for example.
