  I think that it's the tty which is slow :
    For example, I've used fdisk. When I hit '?' to display the help menu, the
display is slow : 3 lines, next 1 second, 2 lines, 1/2 second...
    Secondly, when I use ls or cd, the floppy disk light is switched off (I
think, because of the cache buffer) and the output appears slowly.
