hi there,

i noticed chromium is producing a lot of hdd activity. i think it writes every
1kb of new data directly to disk or so. is there a way to increase chromiums
download buffer somehow. firefox or opera seem to have a much larger download
buffer and write bigger chunks to disk. thus they produce a lot less hdd writes
per second.

has anybody experienced the same behavior?

cheers.
alex
