(sorry if it's disordered, it's on a Eterm and i can't cut paste in a decent shape)
system is a p3 2x800, 256 mb ram; kernel is 2.5.61; but i've
experimented it more times in ther 2.5 releases
Disk is a UDMA100, fs is a only ext3 particion (no htree and/or orlov)
It just happens sometimes when i open the mail client sylpheed
in the lkml carpet; 137 MB, like 29000 messages
This mail client saves each message in a file
diego@estel:~/sylpheed-mail/inbox/linux-kernel$ ls -l | wc -l
29096
It takes a lot of time, usually it's opened very fast (as expected
in this great mail client ;)
i took readprofile just after doing this, i hope it helps (BTW shouldn't "total" show more time?):
