If you don't mind building a new kernel and want to avoid the pain of
upgrading to 2.6, try upgrading to 2.4.24 and using your current
.config.  There has been quite a bit of work on the IDE drivers, and a
few patches specific to VIA controllers have gone in between 2.4.20 and
2.4.24.

With either of those two tests running, or only the find?

When updatedb runs, keep an eye on your free memory, cache and buffer
sizes, and swap in-use.  What may be happening is that updatedb is
causing some of your applications to be pushed into swap as the buffer
grows.
