Hi Andrey,

Can you test with the following /etc/defaults/rc.conf vars set to "HIGH"?

keramida_at_flame:/home/keramida$ grep _cx /etc/defaults/rc.conf /etc/rc.conf
/etc/defaults/rc.conf:performance_cx_lowest="LOW"      # Online CPU idle state
/etc/defaults/rc.conf:economy_cx_lowest="LOW"          # Offline CPU idle state
keramida_at_flame:/home/keramida$

Without these set to "HIGH" in rc.conf, my laptop crawls to a halt very
fast after it enters multiuser mode.
