the system (10.5.6 ipc) is very slow during disk activiry, like unarchiving a big file or more than 5 running torrents. for example, safari becomes unresponsive, even when entering and address in the address bar. i have 2 sata disks, all hfs+. i did not have the same problems with linux running on the same machine, so it must be something software. can anyone help? thanks.

Field Note #1 @wcanal 2009-03-23

I have the same problem on my notebook acer travelmate 4404.
The difference is that my chipset is ATI (RS480M and SB400).
You have to solve the problem?

I am running iDeneb 1.4 (OS 10.5.6).

Sorry my bad english.
