Description Marcel Partap 2011-03-28 08:12:10 UTC

Version:           SVN (using Devel) 
OS:                Linux

kio_http_cache_cleaner is a stupid plague, and it is run with default best effort/4 IO priority, so it quite aggressively is competing with user applications for bandwidth, which sucks tremendously. when i had troubles with a severely slow disk and a highly fragmented btrfs disk (terribly great combination for a root filesystem ^^) at times i had this lo0p running in the background:
while [[ 1 ]]; do sleep 1s; killall -v kio_http_cache_cleaner ;done
How can it cause +1MiB/s disk traffic for minutes anyways ^^

Reproducible: Always
