Re: apt vs. SSD computers

Hmmm, DPkg::Options "--force-unsafe-io";
does seem to help a little. But under closer inspection
the big slow down happens during
Get:10 http://...
Get:11 http://...
Get:12 http://...
sometimes one can't even use the ed(1) editor in another window as the
computer has become so slow for a minute or two.

Wish nice(1) would help in such cases but it most definitely does not
help at all.

No, the computer does not slow one bit when downloading big .debs, so
that isn't the problem.

strace(1) makes too much output...
