Greetings.. I m convinced that I no longer face the issue. However, after various simple tests I observe that I get best disk performance in kernel 2.6.24-18-server. I guess the UI responsiveness should be good in this kernel as well.
In other kernels, either my SATA drives are faster but IDE drives run lot slower or vice versa. Attaching some logs. ** Attachment added: "Simple script to run tests" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/15828915/diskbm.sh -- Heavy Disk I/O harms desktop responsiveness https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/131094 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
