This sounds much like a Linux I/O scheduler problem, especially as >If I move my source code to the SSD, I don't notice this hanging / buffering >effect These can be inexplicably hardware dependent; identical OS and software on another machine can be problem free. Totally frustrating because it seems not much attention was paid to it by the Linux devs for years. For example, see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/381300 Typically, deadline is used for SSDs and cfq for hard discs. What does cat /sys/block/sdb/queue/scheduler say? If it says something like noop deadline [cfq] You might try echo deadline | sudo tee -a /sys/block/sdb/queue/scheduler Regards, John Little -- -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist.
