1 Hello!
2 After upgrading to new stable kernel 2.6.13-r3 i spotted that system is much
3 less responsible, first it runs on little memory, it uses only about 25% of
4 ram for application and disc cache only, next periodically there is some
5 massive memory allocation, it uses whole left memory and sometimes even swap
6 (it's about 1GB allocation) and after some time memory is freed (20-30s).
7 Also system is much less responsible, even in text editors cursor move is
8 slow. Bringing back minimized windows also took much more time.

10 Anyone know what could be a cause of such slowdowns?
