Strange bouts of "Slowdowns"

CaelThunderwing · 11-10-2013, 12:14 PM

this started not long after a fouled up rootfs with a Optware install gone bad

(still waiting back on twobob on a question on KUAL & running irsii)

for example,

fbgnuboy:
theres strange bouts of say going from "Fast as can be for K3" to running at 0.5fps as if the kindle's stuck doing something wonky.

i would even after unbricking thru Kubrick (i had to still reinstall the JB and everything though i swear that Kubrick's K3 image was to include a JB'd image.)

i still ave full device backup from when i prepared for it.

atm i only have this PC, (windows 7 x64) and my old Dell (windows "2000+1" (windows 2k professional with unoffical patches updates and "Extended Kernel" (to bring it to "Near" Windows XP functionality) so im unsure if the proper driver would install much less ATK installing/running.

since if this is all an issue w/ rootfs etc. to recover that i would haveto reflash that or since my kindle's still as oddly fubar'd would it be best to restore from all points made by K3flasher's Backups?

None of the thing you mention that you have done touched the user storage partition, that remained the same the entire time.

And your symptoms remained basically the same the entire time.

First target, always, blame it on the indexer.

Clear off all documents now stored on your USB accessible user storage partition, then do a full, cold, boot.
Wait for the system to complete its to-do list.
And keep it on a charger, the to-do list processing will stop when the battery is low.

Then continue testing for source of problem.

I vote for the indexer.

atm theres no more slowdowns,but theres a CVM process and Something Java related, that spike the CPU Usage to full when it's woken up and htop is running
