Comment 6 for bug 395892

Hi Chris,

I have install ntfs-3g from your PPA to test.

It doesn't seem to have made a huge difference, but looks like it's not using as much CPU as before.

There now seem to be other processes that are causing the issues with the mouse freezing up, such as events, ksoftirqd maybe??

Can I give you some debugging from ntfs-3g to make sure that this is fixed and then we can have a look at why the system is still so slow to boot and the cursor unresponsive and applications slow to respond?

Regards
Philipp
