Hi Pedro, The answer to your question is yes and no. I don't see any changes in Karmic with respect to Jaunty, the speed is (about) the same. What I did notice is this: It is not the processor which determines the speed with which File-roller operates, it is the harddisk. The data throughput of the disk reaches the disks maximum. More data can not be handled at the same time.
I now have Jaunty installed on 2 disks in a RAID 0 configuration which means that each disk reads and writes half of the amount of data being processed. Now File-roller is faster and also the computer is more responsive to other processes. File-roller does not reach the maximum data-throughput of the two disks being mounted in parallel. I don't use Karmic anymore since I have some other problems with it. I know I should report them and I will do that. Just give me time. If something can be done to improve the speed even more it would be very welcome, on the other hand it has improved already by putting the disks in RAID 0. Kind regards, Jan Mussche Pedro Villavicencio wrote: > is this still an issue on karmic? > > ** Changed in: file-roller (Ubuntu) > Status: New => Incomplete > > -- File-roller makes computer unresponsive https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/420904 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
