Re: Reducing HDD writing affect on whole system.
Thank You for Your time and answer, Camaleón:

Thank You.

For system that I'm speaking now is a Dell's laptop w/ AMD Tutorion64
2.4 GHz, 2G RAM, w/ Hitachi SATA 750G in it.
May there are any tunable parameters in a BIOS but w/ a laptop system
it is not the case, You know.
Since the very first days of using that bright new laptop I saw kernel
complains like:
MP-BIOS bug: 8254 timer not connected to IO-APIC
[ 0.016000] ...trying to set up timer (IRQ0) through the 8259A ...
[ 0.016000] ..... (found apic 0 pin 0) ...
[ 0.058765] ....... works.
But is seems there is a work around (if it matters any way). I tried to
update its BIOS - but the problem was not gone. And think it is a
hardware problem.
If interested I can upload some where whole dmesg output. Or some
grep-ed info related to HDD performance problem.
