Everyone has been told they are a bad programmer unless they defeat the filesystem buffer cache by using fsync() everywhere. Huh? So, everyone think we should all go back to the ms-dos world, when each programmer had to know everything about the hardware? Hum... Maybe I should leave my hopes

Hmm, I really hope it is not h/w problem: Intel core I5 2.4 Ghz 4 gb ram 128 gb ssd. Do you still think it's a h/w problem? I do not know, it depends on how many stuff you have loaded at the same time. But... well, to be honest, seeing your computer, I do not really think it could be that...
