Ok? Running 'make -j' kernel compilation on my test box (Athlon64 X2, 2 SATA drives with 6 software RAID1 ext3 and reiserfs partitions, 2 GB of RAM) makes it completely unresponsive. I can't even move the mouse pointer when it's running, I can't log to the box from the network etc. The anticipatory IO scheduler is used.
