REAL PAIN Sun Solaris 2.5.1 and Apr 15,97 patches pauses every 70 sec.

Procedure:
   Load 2.5.1 from cdrom.
   Apply 15-Apr-97 recommended patch cluster.

 If you have an LX with the perfmeter up showing:
    cpu, load, disk, packets, collisions, swap, context, interrupts
  set to default sample rate and do nothing you will see a cpu spike
  ever 70 sec.

  If you circle the mouse ( draw large circles on the screen with the
mouse)
   context, cpu, interrupts.. all of course go up but the 70 sec spike
is still
   there, and you can see a little pause by the mouse.

  This LX has 32M of mem. but we see the same problem on out dual cpu
20's
  with 256M mem.

  If the system has lots going on then it is a REAL PAIN!
