I'm transferring a 20GB-file to my PC (running netbsd-3), and the system
is hanging every 1-3 secconds for a bit to free memory. This also maakes
they keyboard repeat keyys at random, which makes the sysstem somewhat
useless.
Would it be possible to teach the VM system to not hit performance thhat
bad for files where it's clear they are sequentially writteen only once,
without any need to cache them that aaggesssively?
