I tried the server (Ubuntu 2.6.24-17.31-server) kernel with all schedulers. It's much better, but it's the performance like in gutsy. Working with vmware is still awful. Mouse freezes, text delays, long start times of apps. Feisty is two times faster on my old pentium-m machine, than my core2duo on gutsy or hardy (Ubuntu 2.6.24-17.31-server).
I have recognized, that this is not an hard drive issue only. I can reproduce the problem with high network io too. -- 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 subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
