Hi all, I've been running Dapper on my laptop for over month now, but just in the last day or so I've been noticing really slow disk access.
For instance, one of the test suite programs for libsndfile is taking over a minute to run on the laptop (1.1GHz CPU) and runs in under 6 seconds on my ancient 450 Mhz desktop. The laptop used to leave the desktop in the dust. The test suite program does a lot of writing to and reading from disk, but the disk is only 70% full. There are no disk errors in the messages log. The kernel is a stock Dapper 2.6.15-25-686. Anybody else experiencing similar weirdness?
