Is your machine swapping to disk? Look at top data. I like the curses util htop -- look on freshmeat. If so, buy more ram, a quieter disk, or a soundproof case ;) Start gathering more data for your system. I recommend enabling sar data collection at 30 minute intervals (even hourly may be good enough). sysstat includes a cool tk sar data visualizer called isag - look for it and check it out. Gather data with iostat. Example: "iostat -d 1 20" show per-device read/write stats every 1 second for 20 seconds. -Ross _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
