Another issue that I'm having is that the computer will occasionally

the disk access, because I can't even get it to switch to a terminal
until it's finished its work. It reminds me of doing updatedb but with
niceness turned way off, the computer is basically useless until it
finishes what it's doing. Any clues? I turned off beagle indexing (took
up waaay too much disk space) so that's not it. I'm usually running
firefox and sometimes thunderbird and xchat.
Have you looked at the logs to see if there are any disk errors. That
might cause it to hog the CPU while waiting to reset the controller
multiple times (or something like that).
