Clint, I can now answer your questions, at least partially. * If I renice the program, the effect is likely gone. However, I will be sure only after a longer period of testing.
* Other programs run swiftly (also without renice-ing prog.x). I will comment on this issue sometime next week or so, as soon as I acquire more evidence. It may be useful to remind the following info from my orginal report: The long delays in scp procedure occur if machine B was NOT exposed to an scp or ssh demand for a longer period of time. (Typically I face the problem in the morning.) If an scp transfer is finally accomplished then I can start a new one which already works without a delay. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to openssh in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/782092 Title: ssh server extremly unresponsive -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
