Kubuntu seems laggy today

[b0uncyfr0]

As the title says its a bit laggy today and im in the mood to kill of some daemons and do some renicing. Ive found a few useless ones: Bluetooth services (i dont use bluetooth, not yet) and the laptop hotkeys. Are there any other recommendations?

Hmm right, today.

You're sure it's got nothing to do with tomorrow?

Mine has the same problem but my hard disk is 99% full.

Might wanna try using KleanSweep, found it in Adept Manager, kind of sped up my computer and freed ~3GB to boot

As TidusBlade said KleanSweep (Homepage: http://linux.bydg.org/~yogin/) is good tool.

Note from KleanSweep:

You are running KleanSweep with root privileges. Therefore
extreme caution is recommended as improper use may render
your system unusable. Please keep in mind that because KleanSweep
uses simple heuristics, all files suggested for removal should be
manually reviewed.

I have been testing:
Preload - adaptive readahead daemon

preload monitors applications that users run, and by analyzing this
data, predicts what applications users might run, and fetches those
binaries and their dependencies into memory for faster startup times.

Note that installing preload will not make your system boot faster
and that preload is a daemon that runs with root priviledges.
