    2 kdeinit4 processes eating 14% cpu

    Hi all, I use kdm from kde 4.3.1. Besides that I just run flubox. Any idea why there are two kdeinit4 processes eating 14% cpu time? One is run by user root the other by me. I can kill them both and nothing bad seems to happen. But which programs start these resource hogs?

    compiling in 3dnow, mmx, sse, sse2, sse3 support

    The kernel can't use this stuff so don't try to compile it with this stuff enabled. You can still use it in normal userland binaries.

    (U|Z)FS consistency and delayed allocation

    Sounds reasonable. I wasn't aware that softupdates order metadata with data, but if this is so then it shouldn't be a problem. If I understood the ZFS copy-on-write model right there shouldn't be a problem too.
