running a chgrp -R over a series of directories on an LVM partition

Why is this a bad thing? Does the CPU have anything else to spend its
 time on? This sound normal to me. You might also want to tell us how

10x slower than a non xen machine and it just crashed+rebooted my xen
setup.  relevent enough??  ;-)
