Well, for me the mount noatime fixes it for sure :-) Weird thing though, my other system also has the default mounts (no noatime or nodiratime) and doesn't suffer from the slowdown. Also, I don't have Evolution, but the difference in vim (and thus mutt, and btw, Postfix too) is _huge_. -- Humilis IT Services and Solutions http://www.humilis.net
