note that thousand of SUSE Linux 10.1 users _don't_ have this problem. so may be you could try to understant what goes wrong, as it may be possible than one of your prefered setup may just conflict with the default settings.
I think if the problem was as hard as you say for anybody, we should already know. so why flame?
please, slowdown and try to find the real problem.

With 9.3 I was the first reporting (bug 74585) the problem that ext3 and reiserfs mounted on "/" showed on all machines a 50-80% disk performance loss, unless mounted with "noatime", which is not the default. It took developers and maintainers several weeks, up to two months, to recognize this as a general problem, not a bug specific to my installation. And I got nastier comments than yours about claiming it must be a general problem. Later on a kernel fix came through you and the bug was fixed. So: I am well trained in taking comments like yours. Did you have a look at your systems load for the first 10 to 30 minutes after booting? And this with the default sw setup? It would be more constructive to give us (or bugzilla) some real numbers showing that your default sw installation setup does not have the bug. And I found the real problem: it's the way libzypp is architected and implemented. Now what? FMF
