Configuring for very slow I/O

Hi there.

I'm stuck with a machine with so very slow I/O one starts to remember
the good-old-days when we had 3,5" floppies.
So I can't do anything with the hardware, but what settings in the
config should I use to make handle the extremly slow I/O?

Any suggestions?

Try adjusting your random and sequential page cost tunables. Other
than that, see if you can add lots of RAM to compensate.
