Xfce is very slow, part 2

[Ralf Mardorf]

Hi Hartmut,

I reply without line breaking for the command line output. Your HDD is
the culprit. I was thinking of it by the first reply you got ;).

One of my drives:

  ID# ATTRIBUTE_NAME          FLAG     VALUE WORST THRESH TYPE      UPDATED  WHEN_FAILED RAW_VALUE
    1 Raw_Read_Error_Rate     0x002f   200   200   051    Pre-fail  Always       -       0

If the drive is new, perhaps you only need to reconnect the cable. STAT
cables tend to lose contact without being broken. I hot glued my SATA
connectors to the board and drives.

Perhaps you should run other tests too and perhaps some of the trolls
will mention useful commands, since I planed to unsubscribe.

Regards,
Ralf
