I've been using ssh for w while now, and when I upgraded my processor it
an '060 some element of its operation didn't seem to gain the same
increase in poerformance as the rest of my system.

In particular the key generation when it starts up is extremely slow.

Looking at this it seemed to be the the kernel that was chewing CPU
time.

One profiled kernel later I discovered that the call that was typing up
all this CPU time was

_I_CALL_TOP

This is part of the 060SP package.


Can someone tell me what this call does and why it chews CPU so much?
