The machines were not loaded, but I am using XFS. I think that could be the problem. I have several issues with that: http://wiki.debian.org/cowbuilder_benchmark and it seems to me that ext3 is much faster than xfs. I was using XFS when it was basically the best choice, but it seems to me that ext3 is the best choice now.
