Comment 2 for bug 362809

Ah, I just realized I didn't add the ionice stuff manually, it was added in Jaunty, so your system probably already has it? (check /etc/cron.daily/mlocate).

This looks alot like a duplicate of bug #332790 (except for the ntfs thing), but I am reluctant to mark it as such as long as that bug is marked as "Fix Released" - although several people over there are still complaining about general sluggishness.

Maybe ionice simply doesn't work for ntfs?
