[Bug 221009] Re: Firefox keeps forcing disk to spin up when browsing because its sqlite storage calls fsync() for every recorded entry

[tjansson]

I am still experiencing this problem on my Lenovo Thinkpad X200. When I
am on battery the the disk spins down but every time I open a new page
the disk spins up and writes something to the disk which locks firefox
for 2-3 seconds.

I have started to use Opera when on battery just to avoid it. There
ought to be a option in Firefox whether or not cared for smart history
and that. I for one don't care I would much rather use a responsive
Firefox than a fancy-pancy Firefox.
