Subject: [gentoo-user] New laptop is slow.
Date: Tue, 6 Oct 2009 20:02:33 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <49bf44f10910062002n420debdaj9f21a716d041458e@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
I just finished installing Gentoo on a Dell Vostro 1320 laptop. It
has a 2.2Ghz Core Duo CPU, 3GB RAM, and a 7200RPM hard drive.
Navigating within firefox is pretty slow. It's the response time of
the application, not the network. It's much slower than my previous
laptop which has much weaker specs.
I noticed the HD light comes on when the system is pausing in firefox
sometimes. I don't have any swap at all, I'm using the CFQ, and /tmp
is mounted on tmpfs. Can anyone suggest where to look?
