This is embarrassing, I have Windows XP in one drive and Ubunut 9.10 in another, my Windows drive is 40GB, my Ubuntu drive is 120GB(/home is also partitioned there). So why is my Windows performing faster than my Ubuntu?!. I had Jaunty installed a while back and it was faster than my Windows XP, hands down - way faster.
These are my PC specs: AMD Sepron™ 3000+ 384MB of RAM (ddr). Yeah it's old, but it's not like I wasn't using the same PC with my other Ubuntu installation...
The only difference between my Jaunty & Karmic is that I used ext3 for Jaunty & ext4 for Karmic, could that be the reason for it acting so slow?. This is not just happening now, it's been going on since I installed it. I only thought of changing to 9.04 or 8.04 after I booted into Windows XP to mess with Photoshop and I noticed it was way faster than the Karmic I have installed in my second HDD.
Any ideas as to why it's slower? Should I just switch to 8.04? seeing as it's maintained until 2011 I might just switch and install with ext3..
