Xfce is very slow, part 2

Tue Jan 14 18:06:54 CET 2014

Xubuntu 13.10 + Xfce 4.10
Hi,
as my first thread about that topic is now confusing and people are 
starting to insult each other let me try a new one.

I just put the gnome-system-monitor (is there a better one?) into the 
panel for better watching. CPU is less than 10%, memory 335/994, swap 
173/1027
1. Another user behaves the same way.

2. I still don't understand what haapens if I uninstall gvfs.

3. Edit /usr/share/gvfs/mounts/network.mount and change AutoMount=true 
to AutoMount=false: no effect

4. C) Really bad HDD performance: my HDD is the newest part of the PC
$>sudo smartctl -a /dev/sda

I apologize if I have forgotten something.
During the last 20 minutes while I was writing this the 
gnome-system-monitor did not show anything strange.
And if you want to answer please cite only the parts you want to answer 
to, not everything.
