You are going to have explain the logic for this one for me to understand.

"Excessive fsync during a kernel compile causes Firefox 3 become
completely unresponsive till the fsyncs are complete. In some cases if
something else i/o intensive is going on Firefox 3 will freeze till the
other i/o has completely finished. If it gets really really bad other
applications start freezing."

You were doing something as intensive as compiling a kernel and Firefox
became "unresponsive" and that is Firefox's fault?
