- Ever since I upgraded to 3.0 from 2.1, I noticed a couple of things that
- seem to have worsened:
- 1. applications seem to take a lot longer to launch
- 2. my external harddisk seems to spin wildly a lot, often even
- when I'm not running anything serious or typing at all.
- I have a NeXTStation with 20MB RAM, 660 MB external disk and 105 MB
- internal; my file systems are on the external, and the swap on the
- internal. With 20MB, I would expect none of the above 2 problems
- to show up..
-
- Any help will be appreciated...
- (Also, I vaguely remember seeing similar questions quite a while
- back, but at that time I didn't save the messages... could someone
- send me any discussion they saved?)
-
- Thanks.
