Tobias, as I said, I have upgraded to gutsy recently, so I do have kernel 2.6.22, and I still have speed problems. Whether or not the kernel is the culprit is still a mystery to me though.
Someone said that the problems seem to persist when you upgrade from feisty (versus a fresh install), so maybe I have inherited wrong values in /proc/sys/vm/dirty_* ? I would be really pleased to help, so if there is anything I can test, I'm ready to help. PS: I installed kernel 2.6.20 from feisty and booted on it, and it didn't change anything. -- Heavy Disk I/O harms desktop responsiveness https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/131094 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
