About a week ago, I've posted a message here and didn't got positive replies. The problem is: when I use soft-updates on IDE disks (disk on primary master, disk on secondary master, CD on primary slave), any active disk-using program (starting Netscape, starting EXMH) causes all other programs literally to stop for several seconds (well, 20-30 seconds is quite often!). Turning soft-updates off causes this nastiness to disappear, but also slows down disk-active processess. Alex.
