I can understand that tape I/O might slow the node down some, but you
don't expect the display manager to go dormant.  Regardless of what else
is going on, I would think that the display manager should have high
enough priority to keep the cursor moving, accept and display keystrokes,
and the like.  The explanation of a single lock for both disk and tape
(on the DN3000) doesn't seem to explain why the DM can't keep up.
