What steps will reproduce the problem?

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

I expect sage to do most operations like downloading all feeds in RAM and only writing things to disk when everything is done, i.e. all feeds are updated. Instead I have high disk I/O all the time while checking for new feeds. I also don't see why firefox should have to produce 99% disk i/o for firefox when clicking on a feed. On fast PCs this is probably not an issue but my eeepc really suffers from this. Any disk I/O will slow it down dramatically.

What version of Sage are you using? 1.4.7b3

What version of Firefox are you using? On what operating system? 4.0b7 under ArchLinux

From Peter.A....@gmail.com on March 08, 2011 15:36:12 Are you still seeing this behavior in current builds of Firefox 4 and Sage?

From chrisdh...@gmail.com on March 08, 2011 18:48:29 Oh, I nearly forgot this.

There still is a little bit disk i/o which I think is unnecessary but it has gotten so much better now that it really isn't a problem anymore. Disk i/o is so little that it doesn't have an impact in system performance on my netbook anymore.

Maybe another problem was that I had used btrfs with compression when I wrote it but now I had to disable compression due to a bug in binutils.

From Peter.A....@gmail.com on March 08, 2011 20:49:24 Thanks for the feedback. Sounds like it was a beta 7 and or configuration issue.

From joseluis...@axelspringer.es on November 10, 2011 21:19:02 Hard disk usage continues high on last version of SAGE under Windows XP. 3GB RAM and a P4 3,2GHz. It can be 5 or 6 seconds till marks a list of RSS as readed. Too much.
