HI all

Some debug suggestions please, Running OpenSuse 10.3, I have noticed at boot time and Firefox startup time that the PC seems to be slow, looking at xosview , System Monitor and if I read top / mpstat correctly a large amount of time is been spent in iowait.


OF COURSE there's a lot of IOWAIT during those periods -- what do
