I've just upgraded from a 800M Linux partition to a 8.4G HD. I'm running SuSE 6.0 with 64M ram, and I've configured two 100M swap partitions on the new drive. Since I upgraded, my system has slowed down -dramatically-. Boot times are about double (in particular 'setting up ld.so.cache'), launching some apps (notably Netscape) is slower, ls is slower... I'd originally just partitioned the drive as one 4G partition, with the rest unassigned. I then reinstalled with a 500M root partition, the two swap partitions, and the remainder formatted into ~1G chunks, each assigned to various directories. Neither confiuration provided any notable perforance boost. (I also tried turning off both swap partitions, since I know Linux has an issue with ram over 64M, but no apparent difference there either. I assume that the problem applies only to physical ram, but please correct me if I'm wrong). So, any ideas what I can do to increase the performance back to the neighborhood where it was prior to the upgrade. Thanks!
