then open top or htop in a ?term window and watch it as you experience slowness
it should show you where the bottleneck is.
Possibly. Possibly not. Jon said
All internet connections were slow after that. It took 10 seconds to connect to google.com. It takes a long time just to ping Google, like 13 seconds for 5 packets the first time.
If it were the internet ALONE then I'd wonder about problems establishing a connection, possibly due to DNS issues, which 'top' would say noting about. I began life in the UNIX 5,6,7 days before there was a network connection. Now we are so tied in to networking we use it places where a previous generation would not think of doing so. So many UNIX Host network connections, DBUS connections, established at start-up. Maybe even some applications checking out services on the Internet at start-up, and DNS delay issues. Maybe. Sometimes you'd have to check with the source code to find out. And maybe that's obscure. Not all of use have to coding/language skills to be able to do that. I'm sure that tools like 'netstat' would be useful. I have an xterm with 'iftop' running, but it isn't useful for things that get 'blocked', only for things that actually move along. The same might be said for 'top' and 'htop'. If you are looking to traffic rather than specific programs that I'd recommend vimstat. I have an xterm with 'vmstat -SM -a 15' running. You might also look up what a 'slab' of memory is and how having lots of free memory you can't actually use it. -- “Reality is so complex, we must move away from dogma, whether it’s conspiracy theories or free-market,” -- James Glattfelder. http://jth.ch/jbg -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
