Furthermore, killing dumb cron jobs that run every day like 'updatedb' and 'makewhatis' would help make the desktop experience a hell of a lot better (geez, run them every 3 days and only when the machine has been idle for 5 minutes or something, and re-nice them really really really low so they don't screw over the user).
Furthermore and more important imho: these cron jobs should not run when you are working with you notebook on battery (iirc they currently still do -- correct me if I'm wrong).
They do. First indication of them running is everything getting really slow, and then the fan starts ;)
