Keyboard input isn't slowed by disk access. I knew that... In any case, sub-486 speeds aren't attained through using PIO instead of UDMA... my 486 uses PIO disks anyway, so it's moot. The real culprit was ACPI, which is having some temporary problems. I turned it off and everything's great (thanks, Andrew). - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
