Can you check if DMA is still enabled for your harddisk?
with

hdparm -v /dev/hda
Comment 2 Randy Arnold 2002-01-29 23:49:54 UTC 
Yes DMA is enabled
Comment 3 Arjan van de Ven 2002-02-11 18:00:29 UTC 
Did you happen to run prelink before ?
Comment 4 Randy Arnold 2002-02-11 18:15:21 UTC 
I'm sorry. I don't know what you mean.
Comment 5 Arjan van de Ven 2002-02-11 18:17:51 UTC 
Ok, that's a "no" then ;)

Bero: are there any reports that KDE got slower from your side ?
Comment 6 Randy Arnold 2002-03-10 03:28:27 UTC 
I just installed the new kernel(-31) and the problem is no longer there.
