On my EEEPC 702, I find say a few minute long aptitiude full-upgrade is enough to make the whole computer so slow as to even cause some xwindows to not 'hear' what I type into them. I can still switch to them with ALT TAB, but not it's often hard to get a word in edgewise until the apt stuff stops. Even apt-get update with a lot of pdiffs is the same. Yes I tried nice(1). So it is something about the CPU on EEEPC 702 + Debian sid that makes it do the intense jobs even intenser than my other computers. Actually top(1) doesn't say it is the CPU that is the necessarily busy part... Yes, I'm talking about after downloading, during the package installing.
