I just rebooted ('cause I recompiled the kernel the other day) and restarted KDE. When I do this on DFly and run top, the load average is about 1.5. When I do it on Linux, the load average shoots up to 11 or 20 or higher. In both OSes, the computer is slow to respond and makes lots of disk noises. I think what's happening is, processes that are waiting for the disk are counted as running in Linux but not in DFly. Is there a way to tell how busy the system is that includes disk usage?
