Re: gnome performance and system responsiveness

hello,

I have a problem running perl scripts on gnome terminal: if the scripts
make high usage of disk or system resources, the whole linux system
became unusable untile the script ends. Are there trim parameters to
avoid this annoying problem?

1.) Please post only once. Posting once a minute for three minutes is
annoying. Have patience.

2.) What do you mean by unstable? If the perl scripts keep the machine very
busy, it might run slowly on a slow machine, but not unstable.

3.) If putting a heavy load on a machine makes it unstable, there is
something very wrong with the hardware: overheating perhaps. Check into
dirty heat sinks, slow or stopped fans, etc.
