My N810 seems really slow since yesterday. It had run down (nothing
unusual there) and after I recharged it it seemed to run very slow.
I wondered if it was short on space in /, so I deleted some files and
regained several Mb, but that did not help.
I had been suspicious of the battery, which did not seem to keep as much
charge as when new, and did not run the SD card properly when at low
charge (maemo-mapper reports unable to write map database), so
I bought a new battery. It is still slow: sometimes it will not respond
to menu taps, or the system menu is not shown.
I am seeing:

There are no unusual user tasks running - no memory/CPU hogs that I am
aware of.
I cannot remember what is normal, e.g. if it is usual for alarmd to show
such a large virtual size.
I have tried rebooting several times, and power-cycling by removing the
battery, but it is still slow.
Any suggestions ?
