Thanks for your kindness reply! I'm almost sure that it is not the swap partition's problem. My KDE runs prefectly, but when any GUI program which use TK library starts, the hard disk will keep busy for VERY long time, and the keyboard can not input into other program for a long time. When the TK related GUI program initialization finished, It runs ok, except the same thing occurs when it pop up any diaglogs (for example, aMSN automatically pop up a notice box when a new friend appear online). I have not log info currently. And it needs some time to get more info about it... On 2012-05-30 00:00:31, Martti K黨ne wrote:

Are you loading a big ~2Gb repo with gitk or just a small one? Just a small one --- several kb source code. I think it has nothing todo with the GIT, it is something about TK lib. aMSN and other GUI program using TK runs very slow, and seems they are torture my harddisk. When starting, the keyboard nearly lost response to other programs....
you should be able to catch stuff like this with strace and kernel.log. btw, do you have a swap partition on said "tortured" drive?
let's see if I can test in the next couple of days...
cheers! mar77i
