RE: EXT MAIL : Re: USB install is slow

[Derrick Lobo <derrick.lobo%givex.com@localhost>]

I have reproduced this issue on multiple servers with the following cpus using the amd64 USB image on all of them takes 20 to 45 minutes which normally on netbsd9 took 3 minutes max to complete the USB install. None of our servers have CD/DVD

The 3 types of cpus are listed below

[     1.000004] cpu0 at mainbus0 apid 0
[     1.000004] cpu0: Use lfence to serialize rdtsc
[     1.000004] cpu0: Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-2120 CPU @ 3.30GHz, id 0x206a7
[     1.000004] cpu0: node 0, package 0, core 0, smt 0
[     1.000004] cpu1 at mainbus0 apid 2
