On XP, no noise and faster operations, on linux, hard drives send noises and the operations are slower. So that, what has been announced by Jeff Layton of Red Hat about inode's i_version code is true.

Probably hardware-related issues on tour PC, or the system was running some background task.

OpenSUSE Plasma/KDE is faster than XP on my old HP workstation rocking a Pentium D945 and a really old 40GB Sata drive.
