Hi Forum

I have installed SL-5.3 x86_64 default installation/partitioning scheme in
my laptop... the only... call it "different" thing that I have done is an
LVM Luks encryption of my HDD ( It is a laptop, and I carry a lot of sensble
stuff in it... )  In know it is not "MIL-SPEC hard" as a pkcs #13 protocol (
Elliptic Curve cryptography over discrete fields ) but man...  I do not
carry warhead design plans, and sizing calculations with me...   :-)

Anyway...   Trying to dump the content of DVD data, 4.5 Gb of it into my
desktop took me about 70mn...  THIS IS NUTS...    Trying to do the same in
another install , unencrypted this time, in another machine ammounted to the
same...

now, this IS an issue...   this laptop will be used in heavy number
crunching engineering applications...  meaning disk I/O operations in the GB
range ( Finite elements meshes, Genetic algorithm operations... massive data
transfers to put it simply )

Can this be solved... ?

I used (aaarrgghhhh !!! ) Ubuntu with this same lappy and this problem was
not there....

What can I do...?
