Tom,

	Interesting.  I wonder if th 100us vs. 100ms was a typo when the change
was committed? 

	You are also correct, I'm running Gentoo 1.4 (where I didn't ever see
the high CPU usage).  I didn't see it on RH 7.3/9 either. I'm running
now on an unfiltered internet feed.  

	Was there ever a resolution on what was different between BSD and the
various linux distros that were experiencing the symptoms? I recall the
discussion, but don't recall is there was a final isolation of where the
interaction with the OS was causing it.
