[Bug 131094] Re: Heavy Disk I/O harms desktop responsiveness

[Geoffrey Pursell]

For me, apps become sporadically unresponsive (one or another will
actually freeze solid for a few seconds at a time) during a simple file
copy from one hard drive to another.  The source drive is an older IDE
drive (ext3) and the destination is a newer SATA drive (ext4).  It's a
music collection, with files varying in size from 3 MB to 20; the
transfer goes about 27MB/sec.

This is with a stock Ubuntu 2.6.31-14 kernel on a fresh AMD64 Karmic.
