I am having some performance issues on my PC that I've been trying to diagnose. I installed Moo0 SystemMonitor and it seems that HDD Seek is bottlenecking my machine quite a bit. Is this normal? Is there ways to optimize this to increase performance? I'm making an assumption that my Sophos On-access scanning is negatively impacting HDD Seek.
Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks!
You could try defragmenting your disk. – petersohn – 2010-06-30T14:27:34.397

I thought it was probably normal since disk I/O is an expensive operation. I was just hoping to find some relief because for some reason it seems to be really bogging down my system. – Mike Cole – 2010-06-30T14:49:01.750
Thinkpad "airbag" protection can shut down the drive every time you move a laptop, but Moo0 shows this by the HDD bottleneck going blank – endolith – 2011-08-15T03:55:58.437
