[SOLVED] Long prompt delay after issuing a command

I use VirtualBox to run archlinux.

When I issue a command, like ls in a directory with many files, the long outcome on the screen ends relatively fast (2-5 sec) but the command prompt is only available after 20-30 sec. In the meantime, processor is still in heavily use (95-100%). As soon as the prompt becomes again available the processor use drops to normal level.

Does it have to do with virtualbox or ...?

Thanks

Re: [SOLVED] Long prompt delay after issuing a command

I run Arch Linux in Virtualbox and yes its does take up quite a bit of system resouces

Depends on your system specs, amount of ram given over to VM etc...

But to answer your question yes it does have a lot to do with Virtualbox.

Arch would of course run very very fast in a real sytem enviroment

Welcome to Arch :-)
