Well I took it out, the first reboot the computer turned off half-way through booting. Second time it made it to the desktop, but took an extra minute to load, keeping the message that nautilus was being loaded. After this the computer had the symptoms I described, e.g. clicking on PLACES -> HOME takes about 1 minute to complete with no disc activity. Just to put it in comparison, Dapper, Edgy, Debian Sarge and Knoppix are all OK. Something strange with Feisty, perhaps the fact that it is pre-release :) -- performance degrades when on battery https://launchpad.net/bugs/87907 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
