Two 604e CPU card, current from yesterday, MP kernel:

I'm seeing lots of delays and slowdowns. While cvs'ing a tree, I saw this 
on an fxp interface (not mc, but I will test that soon), on a clean, 
local ethernet network:

2001 packets transmitted, 1957 packets received, 2.2% packet loss
round-trip min/avg/max/stddev = -579.182/322.842/8611.055/979.495 ms

(Yes, some of the times were negative)

While the system was idle, I got no packet loss, but still had the 
occasional negative time:

64 bytes from 192.168.2.1: icmp_seq=3899 ttl=64 time=1.221 ms
64 bytes from 192.168.2.1: icmp_seq=3900 ttl=64 time=1.165 ms
64 bytes from 192.168.2.1: icmp_seq=3901 ttl=64 time=9.890 ms
64 bytes from 192.168.2.1: icmp_seq=3902 ttl=64 time=-147.154 ms

Disk seems slower, too, but that's subjective at this point.
