Since moving my Laptop from 2.4.22 to 2.6.5 I've noticed that when daily cron runs (I think it's updatedb, but I see "find" in top) the machine is almost unusable it's so unresponsive. With 2.4.22 there was latency, but it was still usable, but now I really just have to wait for the cron job to finish.
Any suggestions where to look at why this is happening with this new kernel? I just looked at my config and realize I enabled CONFIG_PREEMPT in the kernel. I would expect that to help this situation. Is that an incorrect assumption? -- Bill Moseley [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
