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?
