sluggish system - slackware 13 on dell poweredge 2650

Hello

I've installed 13.0 on a Dell PowerEdge 2650 and upgraded all
installed packages using slackpkg. The system is extremely sluggish,
particularly filesystem access, it seems. For example, trying to
create a database in PostgreSQL takes forever (PostgreSQL is simply
copying files into a new directory).

Could anyone suggest how to get to the root of the problem?

System info:
http://pastie.org/987051

The hardware RAID array has two disks in RAID1 configuration.

Thanks
Dale

Yes, synced with an official slackware mirror.
Only upgraded existing packages - see my pastie link for packages on the system.

Thanks

Has your kernel version changed?

Did you installed any non-slackware package before or after 
upgrade(device driver)?try using clean system with slackpkg ...
or check your filesystem with fsck
All part of system is sluggish?or only in X or something like this...

Module issues

Dear Slackers,

I experienced a curious thing - I wanted to modprobe and got a strange
reply:
 # modprobe ehci-hcd
FATAL: Error inserting ehci_hcd
(/lib/modules/2.6.33.4-smp/kernel/drivers/usb/host/ehci-hcd.ko):
Invalid argument

Strange? Kernel is:

 # uname -a
Linux darkstar 2.6.33.4-smp #2 SMP Wed May 12 22:47:36 CDT 2010 i686
Intel(R) Pentium(R) M processor 1600MHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux

- so that would mean things fit, right? The mentioned module
  - /lib/modules/2.6.33.4-smp/kernel/drivers/usb/host/ehci-hcd.ko - is
    there as it should be.

Any of you have an idea?

Yours,
Morten
