For whatever it's worth, I'm seeing a separate issue where X leaks memory like crazy, which obviously has the interesting effect that I see impressive disk thrashing, and this is with swap turned off. As soon as free memory drops to a few 100 MBs, then my HDD light is pretty much lit up solid and everything slows to a complete crawl. This is with the .35-22 kernel (standard maverick generic kernel).
So something generates a lot of IO (what I still don't know) and when that happens, nothing works except for the 3 finger salute. I'm willing to try pretty much anything if somebody can tell me what I should do or what information to provide. -- Heavy Disk I/O harms desktop responsiveness https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/131094 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
