Title:
  Everything is unexplainedly slower from live CD than from hard disk

Status in “casper” package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
  Ubuntu Intrepid daily live, 20081022
  Ubuntu Natty alpha 3

  From the startup process onward, everything you do with an Ubuntu live
  CD is much slower than the same thing in Ubuntu installed on a hard
  disk.

  People who have not used Ubuntu before may not realize that the
  slowness is because of the CD, and may think Ubuntu is just very slow
  in general and therefore not worth using.

  One way of addressing this would be to add an explanatory sentence to
  the startup screen whenever Ubuntu is started from a CD. (Something
  like, "Ubuntu is slower when running from a CD.")

  Another way would be to add an extra animation (perhaps a picture of a
  slowly spinning CD) to the startup screen when starting up from an
  optical disc.
