Performance Decay

I'm curious if this plagues anyone else. It seems that if I have my system up for nearly 12 to 24 hours the performance of the machine decays. As in, while at first boot the mouse pointer moves smoothly and precise when the performance starts to 'decay' (best way to describe it) the mouse seems to be less smooth, as in it's jumpy and at times it jumps a lot (if it's in the top left corner of the machine, if I move it just a bit to the bottom it'll jump mid screen and sometimes all the way across). I've also noticed that when I drag a window around it is also pretty jumpy (as in non-smooth). I'm not too sure what could be causing this issue, could it be my Processor, Ram or Video card? Does anyone else have this problem!?

 

Thanks.

 

I've got 2gb of ram, a 2.01ghz AMD 64x2 3800+, and a GeForce 6600 GT (PCIe) all on a Nforce4 board.

YES! I have exactly the same issue and it's the last hurdle to me having a smoothly running system - did you solve this?

Mine is not so severe, but mouse can jump a cm or so sometimes during IO operations and system definitely feels faster after reboot with the same applications running.

Have this same issue. Any fix. isn`t it possible to load different kernels from the bootloader rather than do a new install each time.

 

Jumpy mouse is all I have left that is wrong.

 

*update: noticed gets worse if playing music or watching video. Seems to increase with cpu demand.

Yep, same thing happens to me. More demand on the CPU, more jumpy.

 

Is there a way to fix this other than reinstalling the kernel?
