I have been getting this bug repeatedly on 16.04 LTS. After about say 2 hours of uptime everything is extremely slow and unresponsive, even just editing text files. I have to log into a different console with ctrl+alt+f1 to do anything. According to top, upstart is using about 100% CPU and around 40% memory. It's intermittent, only happens about every 4-5 reboots or so, but boy is it annoying. Any suggestions? Any logs I can post to help diagnose?
