First of all, I am not sure if this problem comes from the OS or Hardware or even my program.
Anyway, when I execute a simple C-code which is doing some processing and writes the results
into the hard disc, the program takes too much time to finish up the file writing. The file size is about 450MB. I am using 'fwrite' function which is normally working well in elsewhere but in our new computer ( workstation which has 4 CPUs and each is dure core), it shows really slow file writing. It take a couple of minitues to finish up the writing. Sometimes, when I slightly change my code (Definiely, other parts which is not related with this writing module), it is fast ( done within a few secs).

Any one has same problem ? or Any idea will be reall appreciated.

are you reading from and writing to a disk? perhaps adding or increasing the buffers of your reading and writing will speed-up the operation.

It is hard to say why, but my suggestion is to run strace on your program. This could give you an idea of what exactly it is doing when it slows down.

There's your answer.

It depends on a lot of things. Without the code and without knowing what the background processes are, where and how you call the fwrite function, we can only guess as to why your code is slow.

Since by changing code in "other parts", you are able to speed up, it could be your "some processing" which is taking up time, may be rightly so too. I think you should post code, without which no one can point the exact problem.
