    i run BFQ on a shitty old laptop. old hdd doesnt give more than 25MBps on a disk to disk transfer on a sata 2 bus. if i run ubuntu on it, the same stuff happens thats mentioned above. BFQ is far more pleasant.

    BFS is nice, but I we need something that is in the kernel...

    My Linux Mint 17.3 uses 760MB from the 3072MB available, so memory is not the problem. But every time I'm writing a big file to a disk (internal o external) everything becomes super slow, even the mouse pointer movement start to hang. Is this a scheduler thing? Anyone else experience that? This deadline scheduler could help?


    **Edit**
    It turns out that I'm already using the deadline scheduler:

    Code:
    $ cat /sys/block/sda/queue/scheduler
    noop [deadline] cfq
