That was the "em" thread to which I referred in my original post. That
thread seemed to me to be settling down to symptoms induced by interrupt
sharing and the presence of USB device drivers - nothing ULE-specific. I
don't have any of those other ingredients present and can only induce
the symptoms with SCHED_ULE configured - and only on the on-board
Ethernet devices (bge) not the PCI cards (fxp).

Since I don't think there's anything else useful I can add to that
discussion, I'll just revert to exclusive use of SCHED_4BSD, sit back
and keep reading.

Thanks.
