Thanks to all who responded. The question came up because my desktop
computer was running really slow and the disks were thrashing - disk
light constantly on or at least flickering. I used Palimpsest to check
the disks and that is when I noticed that there were 103 bad sectors on
the 1TB disk.
I later tracked the problem down to Banshee. I disabled almost all of
the extensions and now it behaves as it should. Apparently it was
constantly downloading music data from Amazon, emusic, and a dozen
other places. My world is back to normal.
