-If your job requires manipulation of large files, it will be faster to use local scratch storage on the local machine rather than your home directory (which is accessed over the network). Check our pages on [[:computing:department:unix:file_storage|file storage]] to see where you can store such files.
+<note>Please make sure you don't send intensive writes to your home directory, as this causes slowdowns for all other users on our system. We may be forced to kill any processes which are causing such problems</note>
