[Bug 335471] Re: Liferea causes a lot of hdd activity when updating feeds

[Sergey Sergin]

Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty beta, XFS on 28.5 GB partition, liferea
1.4.26-0ubuntu1, libsqlite3-0 3.6.10-1.

Any operation takes a lot of time and courses high disc activity. To be
correct I've make some tests.

The first launch took about 2 minutes and was accompanied by the unceasing work of the disc.
	
Console command iostat /dev/sda4 -k 60 reports
Device:            tps    kB_read/s    kB_wrtn/s    kB_read    kB_wrtn
sda4             82,78         0,00       444,52          0      26671
sda4             64,86         0,00       334,26          0      20052

The second act was the import of some 200 or 300 channels and re-
monitoring disk activity. This operation has already won at least 7
minutes.

Device:            tps    kB_read/s    kB_wrtn/s    kB_read    kB_wrtn
sda4             91,65         0,00       453,02          0      27181
sda4             93,00         0,00       467,46          0      28047
sda4             90,85         0,00       456,54          0      27392
sda4             93,87         0,00       460,59          0      27640
sda4             93,43         0,20       457,28         12      27427
sda4             97,22         0,00       474,94          0      28501
	
If this is not an attempt to kill my old hard drive, what is it? :)))
	
In another console was running the utility inotifywait -r -m $HOME that throughout the test show this message in a circle.

/home/sergey/ OPEN,ISDIR .liferea_1.4

/home/sergey/.liferea_1.4/ MODIFY liferea.db-journal
/home/sergey/ CLOSE_NOWRITE,CLOSE,ISDIR .liferea_1.4

And so hundreds of times in a row.
