Hi misc@, 7.7 has usually been pretty responsive for me, but I've had a few issues here and there. Right now, my laptop with a decent SSD is very laggy running aria2c on a large file (19GB.) aria2c is a downloader, like curl or ftp, but good for cases where needing to resume a download is there.
The lag seems to be in the "file allocation" stage. I assume this is writing zeroes. I am using encryption through softraid, although I feel that shouldn't have a huge impact. Has anyone else run into this? Is it something that can be tuned for? Thank you! -Henrich
