Is it just me, or is it normal that kernels since love-2.6.0 with elevator=cfq produce a lot off IO-Wait while using ftp and such? Downloading something through ftp @ 6-7mb/s bumps my iowait directly to 20-50% on an XP2600. Even mp3s don't play continuesly anymore.

hi den_RDC

it's not a problem related to love but rather a normal behaviour of using cfq instead of "anticipatory" under heavy load.
look at this thread for a few hints: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php? ... y+schedule
