[Klug-general] Lots of disk activity slowing me down

[Mike Rentell]

Good day all,

I run Mandriva2007 Free on an aging desktop running an AMD Athlon t 
1.3Ghz into 1.5 Gb of RAM. I've had this setup for some time, just 
updating the odd bits and keeping up-to-date with Mandriva.

Recently I've noticed that shortly after startup and a few minutes using 
SeaMonkey and Konqueror everything slows down dramatically and there is 
continuous disk activity for about ten minutes.

I have no idea what is going on as I don't recall changing anything 
other than updating to M2007Free. If anyone has any advice, that'd be 
most welcome.
