Probably nobody replied to Your message because people at this list think that Your problem isn't kernel related. In this moment I'm using "Arch Linux" too, so I checked /etc/cron directory. There simple jobs You are talking about are not so simple: - update the "locate" database, - update the "whatis" database. Both jobs are scaning "/" partition. I don't know how dcron works, but I can imagine situation in which it is polling cron.daily and says: "hey it wasn't done today yet" and it is starting same jobs over and over again. More and more tasks scans the "/" partition and in result access is slower and slower. > > Thanks, > Dimitris Let me know if I'm wrong Rafał
