Opening a new website halts for several seconds on checking the local cache. Same thing on opening applications and even clicking the XFCE menu. My home and root partitions shares the same backing SSD device, configured in writeback mode. Is there any configuration I could make to mitigate the issue? -- Lucas Clemente Vella lvella@gmail.com
