problems with 4.8 release?

[Aslak Evang]

howdy. I upgraded from 4.7 to 4.8 release today and have had some
trouble afterwards.

Firstly, MySQL suddenly started using huge amounts of memory, diskspace
and cpu resulting in kernel errors

Secondly, when doing ports operations the computer starts "endless"
copies of make, until i get "Cannot fork: Resource temporarily
unavailable" Errors. The system load is waaaay to high and everything
freezes for a little while. I have made no other changes to my system
after upgrading. I checked the newsgroups and google, but the only thing
I could find was a number of posts from people who had altered their
make.conf and caused the problem.

Some snippets:

===>  Cleaning for jday-1.3
===> astro/ksetispy
Cannot fork: Resource temporarily unavailable
Cannot fork: Resource temporarily unavailable

===>  Cleaning for rar-3.11,1
===> archivers/rox-archive
Cannot fork: Resource temporarily unavailable
Cannot fork: Resource temporarily unavailable
Cannot fork: Resource temporarily unavailable
Cannot fork: Resource temporarily unavailable

etc. etc.

Top lists many, many pages of make, most of the ones i can see in wait
mode.


I'm not sure if anything of this is normal, cause I've never really had
a reason to study resourcemanagement during port cleaning before.


Anyone else experiencing this or got any advice to offer?

thanks
