** Description changed:

  I have installed KUbuntu on a USB stick, for use on an Intel Atom
  system. Before the 9.10 upgrade this was working fine, but since the
  upgrade the performance was unacceptable. The system is very slow when
  I/O operations are done to/from the USB stick, and the kernel reports a
  lot of strange messages. I have tried to google some solution, but found
  nothing. As a last resort, I reinstalled the system, with a brand new
  Kubuntu 9.10 installation, and to my surprise the performance is still
  horrible.
  
  When I run "dmesg" during some I/O operation (logging into KDE is heavy
  enough to slow down the system), these messages appear:

  This will go on and on, for as long as I/O is taking place. Because of
  the slowdown, logging on in KDE takes many minutes... This was not
  happening in 9.04; I'm guessing this is something in the new kernel.

KUbuntu installation on USB has very poor performance since 9.10
