Instability after updates

[Anne Wilson]

I was under the impression that most of our problems with SC 4.4 had been 
overcome, as my system had been stable and showing few of the delay problems 
seen earlier, so I was somewhat shocked yesterday evening, when I started 
having problems after updating.  There appeared to be some thrashing going on 
somehwere, and the system slowed down to the unusable.  Eventually I gave in 
and rebooted (I had rebooted after the update, since a kernel update was 
involved).  After that the thrashing had stopped, but I'm back to seeing 
delays when sending from KMail - not as bad as the earlier problem, but still 
enough to be annoying.

I also appear to have lost the ability to print, either to the local USB 
printer or the wifi-attached HP mfp.  I'm not sure when this happened, though, 
as I don't recall printing anything for almost a week.  I'll try to sort that 
out later today, perhaps by removing the printers from hplip and re-installing 
them.

Is there anything else I can sensibly test?
