Axel, I still see exactly the same freezes with my test (watch
ActivityMonitor while a 4 Gb file is created with dd). At the exact
point the cache fills up all my available memory I get the first UI
freeze (of a few seconds). The freeze repeates itself some other times
before the dd operation completes.
Did a build yesterday and couldn't see any hickups in ActivityMonitor drawing
where it pauses and then draws a straight line to the next measure point level.
So the change seems to has fixed this for me.
