Slowness with 2.6.5: CONFIG_PREEMPT?
Since moving my Laptop from 2.4.22 to 2.6.5 I've noticed that when daily
cron runs (I think it's updatedb, but I see "find" in top) the machine
is almost unusable it's so unresponsive. With 2.4.22 there was latency,
but it was still usable, but now I really just have to wait for the cron
job to finish.
Any suggestions where to look at why this is happening with this new
kernel?
I just looked at my config and realize I enabled CONFIG_PREEMPT in the
kernel. I would expect that to help this situation. Is that an
incorrect assumption?
