You can say that again....

While there was all the fuzz about CPU scheduler, just doing some heavy
IO can literally stall the system for minutes (and I am not talking
about swap trashing, I have here 2 GB, and about 400 MB used)


Sometimes it goes so far, that I have to suspend the offending process.
I mostly compile stuff, buf file copies have even worse effect.


I tried CFQ, AS, and didn't see much difference
(but ionice on CFQ really helps)

Best regards,
Maxim Levitsky
