One of the users on the our network of SS1's [4.0.3] wants to ask why textedit becomes extremely slow when he's editing ascii files greater than 1 meg. He says the cpu meter shows little usage, but his internal disk grinds away for quite a while. Is it possible his 104 meg drive is becoming fragmented, or is the unix defrag algorithm rearranging the file structure?
