I have a really big problem: My brand new Thinkpad Z61p is slower than my "old" T42p. Z61p: T7200 Dual2 Core 2GHz, 4GB RAM, 100GB S-ATA T42p: Centrino (Dothan?) 2GHz, 2GB RAM, 100GB IDE I found a possible issue: accessing S-ATA HD slows down the system. If i try "find / -name <bla>" the system is turned into a brick until find has been completed. "top" shows jumping 100% WA (wait IO?) from one CPU to the other. First i tried to find out if XFS or 64bit is the problem. 1.) XFS is not the problem, doing the same find on a LUKS-encrypted, XFS formatted USB HD is much more faster and "top" shows no WA. 2.) 64bit seems also not the problem, starting Ubuntu-7.04-64bit from CD, mounting HD with same mount options (noatime, nobarrier) shows a great performance! 3.) I've tried the kernel of the day, it was 2.6.21-rc7-git5 but no success, it has the same issue! So what can i do now?
