https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3094 --- Comment #20 from Alan <alan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> 2010-05-19 11:16:44 --- I/O wait is measuring the amount of time the machine is waiting for the disk, not how much it is using CPU. Disks haven't gotten much faster in the past ten years (SSD aside) while processors dramatically did. There isn't a lot that can be done about the speed of disks,. Getting the kernel to schedule I/O better can help a bit but the fundamental problem is that a disk on a good day can only really do about 200 operations/second. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching the assignee of the bug. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ide" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
