I can confirm this bug as I've seen the same behavior. After a fresh boot, when I log in my CPU is running at 100% and the culprit is sreadahead. sreadahead then exits after a minute or so. If you want, you can disable sreadahead by editing the file at /etc/init/sreadahead.conf and commenting out the line that reads:
exec /sbin/sreadahead -t 0 I did this on my Thinkpad R61 (with a spinning hard drive) and my boot time dropped from 61 seconds to 49 seconds. -- sreadahead uses 100 % of the CPU in Karmic https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/421116 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
