[clug] Ubuntu jerkiness

[Steve McInerney]

All good! 

And please don't feel stupid!! If you don't know, you don't know Gaining
knowledge is the goal here! Is why I didn't spell out the full answer:
would rather point you in the right direction, help you to learn that
way. 

re dying disk, generally I'd start with dmesg and see if you're getting
reports in there - which now I type this, I suspect you are because
that's how you'd know it's dying. 

my 1c suggestion, is that the dying disk is locking up the machine as a
whole, hence the perceived slowness. If possible, pull that disk, see if
the slowness persists. Work it from there? 

Cheers!
