Hi all, I recently updated my dell Inspirion 8100's software after I found to my suprise I could no longer play video fast enough to watch. I did a kernel upgrade from 2.6.24 to 2.6.28, with a number of reconfigurations, including moving from madwifi to in-kernel ath5k. Also updated nvidia-drivers to go along with the new system.
Now my system is extremely sluggish. It updates the screen very slowly in X and CPU performance is noticably slower without X running too. WiFi speed is dismal. I tried to remove all cruft and extras from the kernel, but I haven't managed to improve matters yet. Since it now takes hours to update the system, I was hoping someone might have and idea as to what the cause of the slowdown might be. Sound Familiar? Any guesses?
