Hi, whenever I cause a lot of IDE traffic(copying a large file from cd to disk, write a cd or copying a large file into another directory) my system becomes awfully slow. I cannot even play mp3's or move the mouse pointer without interruption. Also the drawing of a new window is very very slow. I am using a P4 with 2.4GHz and 1GB RAM(Kernel 2.4.20(vanilla)) and that's why I think it can't be the CPU. When I watch over the running processes using top I regognize that X is taking a lot of cpu usage. The kernel already supports the chipset I use. What kan I do to increase performance?(even on my old K6-400Mhz everything worked fine)
Thank you in advance. Michael -- The man scarce lives who is not more credulous than he ought to be.... The natural disposition is always to believe.
