- I am experiencing a slowdown in our Iris (310GTX) whenever
- we have more than a certain number of files in a directory.
- As soon as I am in a directory that has about 2000 files and
- I do a mv, cp, ls etc. it takes ages to perform. Everything
- I do then is slowed down including any other user's processes.
- Why is this happening? What can I do to fix this problem?
-
- TIA
