the other day I was moving several gigs of files from one ide drive to 
another on the same ide chain (the secondary channel is broken) and my load 
average went up to around 7 (no, not 0.07).  The machine would become 
unresponsive for several seconds at a time.  This is a uniprocessor machine, 
both drives are ext2 filesystems.  

Is this normal?  I don't seem to remember having ide performance issues like 
this before (this is a new install).
