Then I'm not the only one to have this terrible problem!?!
=> Same problem here :( Just upgraded to Breezy today, everything seems
to be ok but it somehows performs slower.

I was really amazing about the upgrade from Hoary to Breezy (very good,
no problemo) but now I'm in Breezy, it's unusable, unworkable!

Here's my hdparm results:
/dev/hda:
Timing cached reads:   424 MB in  2.00 seconds = _*211.61_MB/sec*_
Timing buffered disk reads:   64 MB in  3.10 seconds =  20.63 MB/sec
/dev/hda:
using_dma    =  1 (on)
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

TERRIBLY SLOW!

If any solution is found, I'll have to reinstall Hoary!

It's too bad because the upgrade was very wel done x_X

I'm sure it's a little thing, a little param or config but what!?!
That's the question ...
