I thought that I selected drive optimization when I installed the system, but when I went back and checked, that didn't seem to be the case. I put in the command hdparm -u1 -m16 -c1 -d1 /dev/hda and hdparm -u1 -c1 -d1 /dev/hdc in on the prompt, ran a few simple tests and added that to my rc.local file. When I went back I still had hiccup problems when switching between virtual consoles. I guess that I could always screw around with frame buffering or the nVidia drivers for my video card unless you or someone has better suggestions. Your suggestion did unturn a stone that I overlooked and did help. Thanks.
