Subject: Disk performance when installing packages

Hello,
I was wondering if anyone else notices this when installing or
removing packages: the disk is heavily used (like when the cron
scripts are triggered in the morning) for some time (depending on
the number and size of the packages), and the box becomes absolutely
slow. This happens even with small pacakges, in a Woody/Pentium II
400 with 64 Mb of RAM and a 15 Gb Western Digital Caviar HD using
ATA66... The window manager is flwm (the fastest and lightest I
could find)... And I'm also using Gnome, but Gnome is usually pretty
fast here. (And I usually have 20 or 30 Mb of free memory.)
