system sluggish with new distro

[Peter Kirk <pwk.linuxfan@gmx.de>]

Hi,

i have my system partitions (all except /boot) encrypted with loop-aes. Now, 
this setup worked fine on my SuSE 8.0 distro (of course copying was a bit 
slower then without encryption). Now, I installed gentoo on my system, using 
the same encryption method. The Problem: When copying files, in fact 
everytime i get disc activity my system goes very 'sluggish', meaning i type 
stuff, and see it all appear 2 or 3 sec later....meaning i move the mouse and 
it doesnt, but jumps after a while. 
I was wondering why this could be, and how I might fix it....Changing the 
Priority of the loop? processes from -9 to 0 didnt help very much :(.

love to be helped :D
Peter
