No, I have the CYRIX_CACHE_WORKS and CYRIX_CACHE_REALLY WORKS in the
config file... I'll zap them tonight and see if it improves.

Interesting that a friend of mine has a IBM Blue Lightning chip (which has
the CYRIX copyrights etc. underneath) and he's got no problem... 

Makes you wonder if IBM tinkered a bit :-)

One the other hand he's also running an OLD OPTI based board and this
machine I'm using has a ASUS board - might be secondary cache hiccups.
Come to think of it, he's OPTI doesn't have a CYRIX option and he's
running it like a INTEL - I'll first jiggle the jumper on the ASUS board
before slapping the cache off in the kernel - its a DOG without the cache
enabled :-)
