I have some weird behavior I can't explain... I've noticed this behavior since CentOS 5.2 (version I started running) through 5.4...
I am running a Xen host/VM. On my guest VM, I use Alpine as my email client and Aspell as the spell-check... For whatever reason, when Aspell is kicked off - there appears to be what I'd call a prolonged pause before Aspell does its job. Should I run Alpine on bare metal (even on the host OS) - there is no pause whatsoever.
The pause is so bad, I've stopped using Alpine in the VM and just running on the host OS itself.
Its really not a big deal, but I can't figure out what or why there is a difference. Initially I thought it might be an issue with the amount of RAM I give the guest OS - I've tried from 256 MB to 768 MB - the pause is the same :(
Any help or anything I can look at to figure this out - is greatly appreciated!
Thanks ahead of time!
