	This go around I compiled everything into the kernel, actually.
If it would be useful I can compile them as modules reboot and then see
what happens...

===# cat /proc/modules
ppp_deflate            39200   0 (autoclean)
bsd_comp                4160   0 (autoclean)
ppp_async               6512   1 (autoclean)
ppp_generic            15232   3 (autoclean) [ppp_deflate bsd_comp ppp_async]
slhc                    4528   0 (autoclean) [ppp_generic]

	I can say that cleaning out all my firewall rules and adding them
back didn't change behaviour any.  Also, I'm sure that this was not happening
until today or maybe yesterday.  Earlier in the week the machine was doing
fine and I was getting reasonable response times.  Now, out *every* interface,
I get something close to 100ms additional time.  Also of note, traceroutes
appear to be more lagged than pings, for what that's worth (traceroute using
udp, ping using icmp, dunno if it makes a difference).
