Re: performance problem
Dear all,
DMA is enabled on all drives. The X-server has nice level 0, even a
higher value gives no improvement.
I'm wondering if it could be a problem with the chipset (VIA KX-133) or
the PCI/IDE subsystem on a more fundamental level. There is some
suspicious output of dmesg, which I don't understand:
(...)
pciehp: acpi_pciehprm:get_device PCI ROOT HID fail=0x1001
shpchp: acpi_shpchprm:get_device PCI ROOT HID fail=0x1001
(...)
does "fail" mean something bad?
Here comes the output of ps aux. Do you see something unusual here?
Thank you and best regards,
Tobias
