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

[Jeff Epstein]

I believe that this problem can be alleviated by using Con Kolivas's BFS
scheduler instead of the stock scheduler. There are PPAs on Launchpad
where you can get kernels with the BFS scheduler for Lucid and Karmic.
On my system, it really seems to make the system much more reponsive. I
hope that the Linux kernel team consider including the BFS scheduler as
an option in future kernel releases, and until then I think the Ubuntu
team should consider making a BFS kernel the default for the desktop
version of Ubuntu.
