Public bug reported:

Hi there,
I've done a clean install on this notebook (P4/1800 756Mb) and I've noticed that the IO system is doing something (with top) but there is not so much activities on the harddisk, I've checked this with two different drives to prevent wrong diagnostics (maybe harddisk error).

It seems that booting into KDE is faster with the liveCD as with the
installed system, I've also noticed that my second notebook, IBM T22
(P3/900 384Mb) is booting faster with a much slower harddisk than the
mentioned system.

It really seems that something is throttling the io system
