How could I speed up my hard disk.
You could use DMA, but I believe that's on by default for chipsets where it works.
Yes I checked it, dma is on.
I will have to do this. Haven´t done it yet.
Or - how could I manage, that the one process in the background using the harddisk intensivly - does not slow down the hole system that much, that I can´ t move the mouse anymore.
Have you determined that it is one process? How? What is it? What files is it using? Is it reading or writing to them?
I am using the standard kernel from the RedHat 9. It is 2.4.20
I heard the scheduler of linux is rather poor.
Which kernel are you running? The newer errata kernels include some very nice scheduler code backported from 2.5, IIUC.
I personally feal that the whole system with RH9 is very much slower than RH7.3
