Do you have - preemption enabled for that kernel (should allow to switch apps faster when swapping is in progress) - some logical layers between the hard disk and the swap device (DM, other block dev abstractions, file system...)? - enabled a _reasonable_ io scheduler for the kernel? - some memory eaters running (UML, VMware...)? - checked if thermal throttling may cause that?
