Use "systat -vm 1" to check if there are <100% disk usage during these periods. Also check if your system is swapping a lot - that would indicate a ram shortage. KDE is huge and requires quite a lot of memory, if your system starts swapping then you would probably find KDE grinding to a halt. I am not aware of any way to change the IRQ's. I certainly have never had to do it. /Micke On 01-Sep-01 Bjarne Wichmann Petersen wrote: > I have observed that when there is some heavy diskactivity (unpacking of a > large tarball or downloading multiple (10+) files) my Xsession/KDE chokes > sometimes to a temporary freeze/halt. > > Guess it's some kind of IRQ-conflict.
