Slowness problem
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
Hi,
I'm using the deprecated Debian Lenny with a 2.6.26-2-686-bigmem
kernel on an Asus P5K/EPU motherboard with a 4-cores config. I'm
having, already for a long time, slowness issues.
It looks like when a task is `too demanding,' everything freezes until
this task is completed (that would not be a problem if it was done
quickly, but this is however not the case).
Take for example www.youtube.com. On the entry page, scrolling say 3
or 4 times the mouse wheel results in such a behaviour:
1) scrolling a little bit in the page,
2) waiting 2 or 3 (!) seconds, then scrolling the rest.
That is, scrolling is slow and freezes for 2-3 s after having scrolled
a little bit. Then, it scrolls until where it had to stop.
My HDD is not full, and I've already cleared all my temporary
internet files. This behaviour also happens sometimes with other applications,
but this is mostly the case with youtube.com on Mozilla Firefox 11.0.
Thanks for any help.
