slow unless CPU is in use, part 2

A followup and more information about the system being slow unless the
CPU is in use, then things work well.

I tried to boot from the latest amd64 snapshot, to see if it was a 6.2
to 7.0 upgrade issue but the laptop doesn't seem to like it in that it
core dumps almost instantly after the loader starts and I can't see what
scrolls by. I did cvsup today and recompiled everything, but I'm still
having the issue of dragging (Up to 5 seconds to switch ttys if nothing
is running, or for a character to display after being entered).

I haven't narrowed down what level of CPU usage makes things fast.
Things that I know do the trick are mpg123, or compiling a port..

As the hardware worked fine under 6.2 for a week, and I've been using
visual studio under vista without issues (Other than Vista doesn't like
parts of VS 05 that is...), I don't believe there's an issue of an
overheating CPU or other hardware issues.
