[Bug 131094] Re: Heavy Disk I/O harms desktop responsiveness

[Hendrik van den Boogaard]

I just installed a fresh Jaunty and I am experiencing the same problem.
When I'm copying large files the responsiveness of the system goes down
dramatically. You practically cannot use the system any more. It takes
ages for the top menu to load (its icons) and when you start a simple
program like the terminal it also takes ages for the terminal to appear.
I have never experienced this on the Intrepid/Hardy/Gutsy/Feisty/Dapper
releases before.

The only difference from my Intrepid install is that I did a fresh
install on a SATA harddisk where my older releases were on an IDE drive.

I can try to install the Intrepid kernel on this Jaunty install and see
if the problem persists.
