I am curios.
Say you need to make a "grep" on 10gb of text. It will take quiet a while to go over all that text, and you will probably be only limited but the speed of your HD because the CPU will be much faster and will always be waiting for more information.

What happens if your compress , just ...

you are right sorry.

Let me try the question another way:
Does anybody knows if its possible to auth to google mail with prehashed password. I already send the username, now its up to the server to compare my server stored hash pass to my local, just-sent hash pass.

Any ideas?

the question is, hashed/encoded Where?
When I auth to the server, at some point, I have to enter the username/password in cleartext.
It just does not sound logical that an already (Pre)Hashed password is being sent for checking.

pop3 smtp

I intercepted this from a trojan that infected me, and I am not exactly sure what this means.

250 2.1.0 Flushed 35si6742153wra
250 2.0.0 OK 1173624242 35si6742153wra


Does anybody know what "Flushed" means, and what is the value after it?
Same for the 2 values after "OK" ?

Thank you.

I am not sure I understand the "slow".
Perhaps you are confusing the load times of the application with the DownLoad times of the flash file (which of course depend on the bandwidth) ?

Its perfectly reasonable for the plugin to take time to load, but I would assume it would be too short to "notice".

This should work on all recent kernels (2.6.18 and higher I belive).

Please let me know if you have any problems with getting it working.

Of course it works with konqueror!
And from my preferences it works better in konqueror then it does on firefox.

Don't forget, after install, to search for the new nsplugin plugins through konq.
Settings -> Configure Konqueror -> Plugins (on the left, at the bottom) -> Scan for New Plugins.

this is not the entire result of dstat -afc but only what probably fits your screen.

please output it to a file (it will output in CVS mode for easy parsing) and do the elimination i suggested in the last post, using some spreadsheet (like that of OOo).

Guys, please remember this is an IO-WAIT issue.
This is not limited to a certain hardware, CPU, or system.

I am suspecting that this is a kernel issue with the way it handles IO's.

I have ICH8 chipset (Intel PIIX SATA controller), and I have my SATA ports set to "Native" in the BIOS.

How high was it? Also, despite it being high, did you feel any choppiness still?
Was it the same, or less then with CFQ?

Are you too having issues with iowait at "random" (like, when running emerge sync, or using vmware...) ?

Also, please tell me what hardware do you use? Is it SATA?
What about the NIC?

Everyone who suffers from this issues by any chance is also using ReiserFS for his root ?
