You might start by verifying the level of disk activity and its effect on your system. At your command prompt, run top and look at the %wa value in the cpu line. If you watch it for a bit does it vary? What is the range of values you see? While you're in top, look at the 3 load average values as well. You can use iostat to get more detailed information about disk activity as well. If you don't have it in your standard install, try apt-get install sysstat Hope this gives you a start... Kirk
