USB boot & throtteling

Jun 05, 2018 5 Replies

Hi there -



after installing Raspbian and berryboot on a USB stick, some kind of throtteling can be observed.



The LXDE screen and ist terminal windows sometimes show a delay of about



1-2 seconds before an application starts after giving execution commands.

Anly clue?



Thanks - Udo


Run "top" from a terminal and see what process is hogging so many resources. That's your first step.

Which RPi model is it?

How big is your SD card and what type (not brand) is it? If you don't know how to find that out, then

will help, especially the "Speed class rating" section.

No SD-Card, Boot from USB

Are you just observing that Raspbian seems to run slowly with your USB stick? Maybe the stick is just slow and you can get better speed if you get a faster stick or switch to an SD card?

I recently tried running Debian from an old USB stick (some 16 GB Kingston stick from 2008) in a PC and yes, everything was slow. Much slower than running from an old hard disk.

Or for a more useful, configurable and colourful display "htop".
