[SOLVED] Fixing the apt-work process slowing down the whole system
 
For those who hate when the apt-worker process start and make the whole system slow like hell , here is the solution

edit /usr/share/policy/etc/rx51/syspart.conf

search for "/usr/libexec/apt-worker" and comment it.
Reboto your phone, now apt-worker will have lowest cpu shares ...

You can also change priority of the media player to a higher one , so you will get almost no choppy audio when playing and multi tasking...

Thanks for that.

As for adjusting the media player priority, that would be done by moving the media player out of the media group into the system group, yeah?

basically yes, but take a look in the section of mafw... to select the right group.

omg you have no idea how much i hated that, lol. But I'm not too into Linux, just wanted to know, it is possible to completely making it stop working? If I understand correctly, that is the process that checks for app updates every one in a while when you connect to Internet? Cuz I usually run it myself daily using Faster Application Manager so I never use the stock AppMan.

And also, is it possible to edit/cancel the indexer-tracker at every reboot? that also slows down the entire system for a long 3 minute at every reboot.

You can reduce the frequency of auto update check - http://wiki.maemo.org/How_to_personalize_your_N900
