If i write a file with vim, even if it is just a word, my harddisk starts to write like mad for a few seconds and vim is not responding. The problem does not exist with nano or emacs. One might now guess it is a vim problem, but it behaves totally normal if i write the file on a fat32 partition on the same disk. Vim just quits and i even cannot hear my harddisk write. Another reason why i think it is a reiser problem is that dpkg got really slow with the last few kernels. It takes very long to extract and install the deb packages. > > At the moment i am using Debian and 2.6.14.1 vanilla with reiser4 patch.

(it will still be a little slower that what it used to be, but much better anyways)
