Using Fedora 18, KDE 4.10.2 on x86_64 laptop with kernel 3.8.11-200 and nvidia proprietary drivers. I have two hard disk. One SSD with / and swap and one hybrid with /home. Recently, I remarked extremely long times (>60 s) to open some programs like firefox or dolphin, the latter being the most critical. I suspect disk access to slow down the machine as this happens when the processor is nearly idle. What can I check? Can I check the hard disks, how? Could it be something else?
