As far as I'm aware, iCloud is NOT a kernel-level technology. OS X talks to 
iCloud when you choose to save things to iCloud / iCloud Drive (the contents of 
which are cached locally in a specific location). Otherwise it does not use 
iCloud.

It's entirely possible that something else I/O-related has changed in Yosemite 
that is having an impact. For instance, the boot volume is converted to a Core 
Storage logical volume on upgrade.

We still don't know what (if anything) is causing the issue. Craig's experience 
on Snow Leopard makes me think that it may not be a system-level thing.
