Has anyone else noticed issues concerning paging activity. I'm compiling
the g++ libraries on my NetBSD machine. The machine is a SS1+ and it's
taking a long time to compile. I noticed that vmstat is reporting a
high page in activity. Yet at the same time the sys time columns is
somewhat low considering the high paging.

Any comments..
