Well, I ranh the iperf tests between real machine for 24 hours and that 
worked fine. I also then spun up a Virtualbox with Win10 in it, and ran 
iuperf to there at the same time as doing it betwene real machines, and 
also did a full virus scan to exercise the disc. the idea being to 
replicate Mondays lockup.

But its all fine - the only differece being that I have disabled SMT 
again. Do you get lockup-s with SMT disabled ?

I dint have any experince with bhyve and dont have the tiime to start 
learning right now, hence me testing with VB, which I already have pa nd 
running. I can repeat with SMt on again to veiry that it does then lock up.

All very odd though - am pleased its stable, but dissapinted at the 
amout of stuff I have had to turn off to get it to that state.
