Excellent: the load does not go over 2 now (compared to 50).

Thank you for saving my day. But now what happens?
I note the SATA disks are in IDE emulation mode, and not AHCI. This is
something I need to try changing:

piixide0 at pci0 dev 31 function 2: Intel 82801I Serial ATA Controller
(ICH9) (rev. 0x02)
piixide0: bus-master DMA support present
piixide0: primary channel configured to compatibility mode
piixide0: primary channel interrupting at ioapic0 pin 14
piixide0: secondary channel configured to compatibility mode
piixide0: secondary channel interrupting at ioapic0 pin 15

atabus2 at piixide0 channel 0

wd0 at atabus2 drive 0

atabus3 at piixide0 channel 1

wd2 at atabus3 drive 0
