I still wonder if its Ubuntu -Linux in general - is the cause of this
problem.On my laptop , after removing unwanted apps Windows parks heads
as frequently as linux.This takes some time to occur after startup - may
be because of all that disk i/o.Can anyone confirm this ?There is a tool
called Diskcheckup which you might want to use.
