Description Michael Meeks 2006-03-14 14:21:42 UTC
Rumour has it (and I guess you are perhaps tracking this elsewhere) that zmd is responsible for a metric ton of I/O on up-load.

Of course, perhaps it's something else ? - either way 'mono' then 'query-system' seem to substantially chew I/O on boot & hence slow everything else down.

Hmm we haven't seen this yet.  I'll check with testing to see whether they can analyze and duplicate.
Comment 2 Nat Budin 2006-03-14 18:23:47 UTC
I think this is probably related to #157474. I'll test this after that bug is fixed.
Comment 3 James Willcox 2006-03-15 15:10:30 UTC
Yeah, we really do use a metric crapload of disk I/O when we startup and load system packages, etc.  Sqlite is not very nice to the disk, it seems.  This is actually a duplicate of 157333.
