Public bug reported: Overall system's performance under high CPU load significantly degrades on Ubuntu 9.10 RC karmic. For example during compilation of source code on all CPUs/cores all system's responses are very slow and the system is nearly unusable. The problem occurs only with kernel shipped with this distribution (2.6.31-14-generic, 32bit). With kernels downloaded from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ (tested with v2.6.31.5 and v2.6.32-rc5) everything works fine so it looks like there is something wrong with scheduler's configuration. Observed on Lenovo ThinkPad R61i with Ubuntu 9.10 RC 32bit.
