Try " xlatencytop" to see what is really taking time in your system: LatencyTOP version 0.5 (C) 2008 Intel Corporation
Is latencytop what you meant to type?
What Carlos said.... It's in 13.1 in the latencytop package. yeah, it's old, so is powertop -- but both fill a niche...

(In the past few days, where I remember not, maybe IRC, maybe a Fedora or Mageia list if not an openSUSE list, I saw mention of Firefox getting sluggard at the same time as fsync calls from IIRC 2 plugins were causing dependent looping.) I get (11.4 on ICH8 SATA2 HDs RAID 1 EXT3; latencytop-0.5-10.1.i586) from SeaMonkey in xlatencytop: Cause Maximum Percentage ... fsync() on a file (type 'F' for details) 361.4 msec 14.1 % (highest) fsync() on a file (type 'F' for details) 180.5 msec 7.0 % (typical) fsync() on a file (type 'F' for details) 42.2 msec 3.2 % (lowest non-0) If I try to get that in copy and pasteable form from latencytop, it shows the wrong SeaMonkey session (I run 2). It seems only able to find the earliest started, whereas in xlatencytop I see and can access all Firefox and SeaMonkey sessions' data. What is it actually telling me? It says 'type "F" for details', but typing an "F" doesn't do anything I can notice. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
