I doubt you did something wrong. I've got a decent i7 paired with a 5400rpm hybrid drive. KDE5 seems to make lots of small blocking reads that just makes life miserable until everything is loaded in memory, especially at login time. My SSD-based machines don't have that problem. No network file protocol does well with small-file workloads. I'm curious if the new-ish NFS read cache to local block device would improve the KDE experience for you. I've not tried it yet myself. ;-Daniel /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
