A typical load for the PII-266 is KDE 3.5.10 with konversation, icedove,

Probably you have already thought of this but Jon Corbet outlines some new
features merged for 2.6.37 here:
http://lwn.net/Articles/411590/
some of which might be relevant - this stood out for me for CFS:
The scheduler also will no longer charge processor time used to handle
interrupts
You can turn off SWAP and try ?
Are you using SWAP partition or file ?
Please search for following phrase in mailing list ... could this be
a issue in new release ?
2.6.36 io bring the system to its knees
