Your hint is appreciated as it may be useful for other issues, but the gnome-terminal sluggishness isn't related to disk I/O. It's likely a gnome-terminal/vte bug which happens to be usable with the 2.4 process scheduler but breaks with the 2.6 scheduler. -- Earthling Michel Dänzer | Debian (powerpc), X and DRI developer Libre software enthusiast | http://svcs.affero.net/rm.php?r=daenzer
