My places.sqlite file has grown to 12107776 bytes and there is still periodic loss of responsiveness with high CPU usage and concentrated I/O.

My urlclassifier3.sqlite file is growing only slowly at is 54878208 bytes and does not seem to be the problem.

Perhaps this blog explains what I am experiencing:

I checked my libsqlite3-0 and found it was version was 3.4.2-2.

I have now used prevu to compile version3.5.9-2~8.04prevu1. I do not know if it will help because the firefox I am using is already compiled and version 3.0~rc1+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.8.04.1.

But I am sure that it is places.sqlite that is causing loss of responsiveness.

Any help or light shedded on this is most appreciated.

Thanks.
