setting kernel parameter "mem=16384M" did not help (was set via grub GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="mem=16384mb")
killing lightgm resolves the problem and speed jumps to 12mb/s . But once back in GUI, problem returns. Tested using Netcat and iperf, LAN speeds peek out at 1.2MB/s Effected: PC1 Desotop, Ram Page 3 Extreme motherboard: Description: Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS Linux ubuntu 3.13.0-34-generic #60-Ubuntu SMP Wed Aug 13 15:45:27 UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux network description: Ethernet interface product: 82567V-2 Gigabit Network Connection vendor: Intel Corporation physical id: 19 bus info: pci@0000:00:19.0 logical name: eth1 version: 00 size: 1Gbit/s capacity: 1Gbit/s width: 32 bits clock: 33MHz capabilities: pm msi bus_master cap_list ethernet physical tp 10bt 10bt-fd 100bt 100bt-fd 1000bt-fd autonegotiation configuration: autonegotiation=on broadcast=yes driver=e1000e driverversion=2.3.2-k duplex=full firmware=1.8-5 ip=10.10.10.121 latency=0 link=yes multicast=yes port=twisted pair speed=1Gbit/s resources: irq:75 memory:f7de0000-f7dfffff memory:f7ddf000-f7ddffff ioport:9c00(size=32) LAPTOP 1 Description: Ubuntu 12.04.4 LTS Linux user 3.11.0-26-generic #45~precise1-Ubuntu SMP Tue Jul 15 04:04:35 UTC 2014 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux network description: Ethernet interface product: RTL8101E/RTL8102E PCI Express Fast Ethernet controller vendor: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. physical id: 0 bus info: pci@0000:09:00.0 logical name: eth0 version: 05 serial: 88:ae:1d:49:8e:f3 size: 100Mbit/s capacity: 100Mbit/s width: 64 bits clock: 33MHz capabilities: pm msi pciexpress msix vpd bus_master cap_list ethernet physical tp mii 10bt 10bt-fd 100bt 100bt-fd autonegotiation configuration: autonegotiation=on broadcast=yes driver=r8169 driverversion=2.3LK-NAPI duplex=full firmware=rtl_nic/rtl8168e-2.fw ip=192.168.9.19 latency=0 link=yes multicast=yes port=MII speed=100Mbit/s resources: irq:43 ioport:2000(size=256) memory:f050c000-f050cfff memory:f0508000-f050bfff + several other laptops/computers. Older laptops are not effected. Ilya your post where my guiding stars! Thank you. Also, I think issues like “Remote Desktop VNC very slow” http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1752116&page=2 and many others could have been results of this bug and users not realising that LAN speed is the issue.. Issue remains unresolved for me. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1264707 Title: IO limit 1.2 MB/s for 32bit ubuntu (PAE, 32 Gb RAM) Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I recently installed a new motherboard Asus M5A99FX PRO R2.0 and found out that IO speed is very low; i.e. the dd command output: dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/output bs=8k count=1000k ^C13885+0 records in 13885+0 records out 113745920 bytes (114 MB) copied, 99.6639 s, 1.1 MB/s This issue is reproducing with my new SSD (with ext4), my USB drives and my hard disk (with ext4) from Ubuntu i386, 13.04 and 13.10. Such a speed is not ok, awfully slow. When I run two or more the same dd commands simultaneously, I have 1,2 Mb/s for every process.
