On my laptop while running heavy disk read/write loads, I have discovered that the deadline IO scheduler gives me a much better "feel" and much shorter (and fewer) system freezes. This is as compared to the CFQ scheduler. I'm not sure why this is yet. A rough guess is that Reiser4's atom merging, etc, is not preserving the data CFQ needs to time slice and prioritize disk IO. But I don't have any evidence for this guess. Is it plausible? Something to think about. -- Zan Lynx <zlynx@xxxxxxx>
