Starting hal daemon incredibly decrease my hard drive performance

[David Zeuthen]

Hi,

I cannot reproduce this; this is what I'm getting on Fedora with what is
close to HAL CVS (hal-0.4.0-10)

[root at davidz ~]# hdparm -tT /dev/hda

/dev/hda:
 Timing cached reads:   1400 MB in  2.00 seconds = 700.11 MB/sec
 Timing buffered disk reads:   96 MB in  3.01 seconds =  31.89 MB/sec
[root at davidz ~]# service haldaemon stop
Stopping HAL daemon:                                       [  OK  ]
[root at davidz ~]# hdparm -tT /dev/hda

/dev/hda:
 Timing cached reads:   1304 MB in  2.00 seconds = 652.10 MB/sec
 Timing buffered disk reads:  102 MB in  3.01 seconds =  33.94 MB/sec
[root at davidz ~]# service haldaemon start
Starting HAL daemon:                                       [  OK  ]
[root at davidz ~]# hdparm -tT /dev/hda

/dev/hda:
 Timing cached reads:   1428 MB in  2.00 seconds = 713.75 MB/sec
 Timing buffered disk reads:  102 MB in  3.05 seconds =  33.40 MB/sec

What version of hal are you using?

HTH,
David
