I just installed a fresh Jaunty and I am experiencing the same problem. When I'm copying large files the responsiveness of the system goes down dramatically. You practically cannot use the system any more. It takes ages for the top menu to load (its icons) and when you start a simple program like the terminal it also takes ages for the terminal to appear. I have never experienced this on the Intrepid/Hardy/Gutsy/Feisty/Dapper releases before.
The only difference from my Intrepid install is that I did a fresh install on a SATA harddisk where my older releases were on an IDE drive. I can try to install the Intrepid kernel on this Jaunty install and see if the problem persists. -- Heavy Disk I/O harms desktop responsiveness https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/131094 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
