What is causing Unity to be slow on startup?
- by To Do
A few days ago I noticed that after I login in, the top panel and the dash took a bit more time to load and I noticed more disc activity than usual.
I thought that it might have been caused by some update or by the installation of pdftk. So I removed pdftk but the "problem" persists.
Is there a way to know what is using the disc (read/write operations) on startup?
If it were at a later time, I would use iotop but I can only launch iotop after I get control of the desktop.
I'm on Ubuntu 12.10 amd64.
