PostPosted: Mon Sep 19, 2005 1:37 pm    Post subject: emerge and web browsing is slow. Reply with quote

When i emerging something, it take 20 - 30 seconds to find the application i selected to emerge.
The same thing is when i write a web address in opera/firefox, it take 20 - 30 sec to lock up the web page.
Any ideas why its slow and how to fix this?

I hope some one understand the problem.

u mean then e.g. doing emerge -pv application takes 30 sec to give you output whether application really exists/what dependecies are?

if so i have same issue here, but guess it could be related to size of portage (and not really big deal for me).

Nope, it's when i connecting to the server. And when i write a web address in opera/firefox, it take some time to look up the web page.

example:
Code:

Linuxbox HEPP # emerge idesk
Calculating dependencies ...done!
>>> emerge (1 of 4) dev-libs/libcroco-0.6.0 to /
>>> Downloading http://mirror.gentoo.no/distfiles/libcroco-0.6.0.tar.bz2
--15:11:04--  http://mirror.gentoo.no/distfiles/libcroco-0.6.0.tar.bz2
           => `/usr/portage/distfiles/libcroco-0.6.0.tar.bz2'
Resolving mirror.gentoo.no...


And now i need to wait 20 - 30 sec, before the download starts. This happened after i reinstall gentoo.

When i ping mirror.pudas.net or mirror.gentoo.no or another server around the world, i need to wait like 20 sec or more when the next output line of ping result.

Sounds like slow dns response. Try a different name server, like 4.2.2.1.

i am having a similar problem but the difference is i don't experience a slow network.
when i do "emerge sync" for example, my system monitor shows serious I/O Wait by the process
and i don't see any output on the screen for good few seconds.

and in the end of emerge sync the ">>> Updating Portage cache: xx%" takes a very long time to reach 100% even if the sync happend just a few minutes ago.

i have dma turned on & everything else looks normal.

i have amd athlon 64 box.
my system feels a little sluggish.
any thoughts.

Code:

mount
/dev/hdb1 on / type ext3 (rw,noatime)

hdparm -tT /dev/hdb

/dev/hdb:
 Timing cached reads:   2360 MB in  2.00 seconds = 1178.41 MB/sec
 Timing buffered disk reads:   84 MB in  3.01 seconds =  27.89 MB/sec


hdparm -tT /dev/hdb

/dev/hdb:
 Timing cached reads:   2340 MB in  2.00 seconds = 1170.18 MB/sec
 Timing buffered disk reads:   84 MB in  3.04 seconds =  27.64 MB/sec


 hdparm -tT /dev/hdb

/dev/hdb:
 Timing cached reads:   2072 MB in  2.00 seconds = 1035.64 MB/sec
 Timing buffered disk reads:   80 MB in  3.03 seconds =  26.37 MB/sec
