possible usb3-connected hard drive spin down causing lag

[tech-lists]

Hi,

It seems the issue wasn't with the hardware or the connection.
I use mutt and it's the program that was slowing everything down,
and that was down to me using new mutt with my old config. The whole
pause for 5 seconds thing was due to it scanning gigabytes of email each 
time it woke up. The fix was to review the config and change a couple of 
settings. Now there's no delay (well there is a bit but only because it's 
scanning the folders it's told to for new mail).

But looking at a hardware cause wasn't in vain. On the way to the solution, 
found a few tips through here that sped up the system generally, and learned 
a bit. So now I have a *really quick* raspberry pi4 which is rock-solid 
stable, so thanks :D
