hello

first time you boot, fossil dumps the whole fs to venti, and that takes a
while, and also this can make your system look like hanged, iirc you can see
what venti is doing listing the processes with control+t-p iirc if your
shell is irresponsive or with ps -a.

may be we need to put a message on the first dump to warning the user :?

slds.
