I would really like to know why does linux access the disk so much (in GUI mode)
When you say GUI mode, which desktop, and window manager are you actually running?
to fire-up even a small application like terminals windows?
Which terminal emulator are you using? What services and applications were currently loaded when you started the terminal?
What is it that it reads/writes so much? This is irrespective of m/c configuration.
I doubt that ... what is your machine configuration? How much physical memory? And to repeat, which services and which software currently open?
