I was wrong. I built a new kernel from sources and performance is
still very bad, with a load of 2500 minimum.

Also, venti, on this little machine, is a bit hungry for memory.
venti...2010/0316 20:31:06 venti: conf.../boot/venti: mem 1,048,576
bcmem 140,753,578 icmem 211,130,368...httpd
tcp!127.1!8000...init...icache 211,130,368 bytes = 3,298,912 entries;
16 scache
sync...2010/0316 20:31:12 arenas01: indexing 430 clumps...
announce tcp!127.1!17034...serving.
fossil(#S/sdC0/fossil)...fsys: dialing venti at tcp!127.1!17034


This image formerly ran in 256M, now requires 512M, because venti
footprint is 140+211+211 ... wait, how does it ever fit in 512 anyway.

I think qemu changed too. An old kernel has the same problems. Not
sure what is up here. but for now qemu on unongo 9.10 is useless for
plan 9 from what I can see.
