Could it be that all of you upgraded to a newer kernel?
I'm asking because I had severe performance problems after upgrading from
2.4.18-pre9-mjc2[1] to 2.4.21-ck3[2]. When compiling something in the
background I could hardly type in oowriter anymore. I then read the
2.4.22-pre3 Changelog and saw the comment "We should have increased
interactivity under heavy IO (users with interactivity problems please test
and report results).", so recent kernels seem to have problems in that area.
Cheers,
Yven
