Comment 41 for bug 107093

No freeze in about an hour, means it is gone (was getting freezes by the seconds).
So, I guess this was indeed caused by caching and that particular HD?
Or, could it be some other configuration file (gnome or xorg related)?

Here some info about HD in case anybody wants to know:
