During the lag htop doesn't show any process using all CPU capacity. When I stop "sudo service i8kmon stop" and "sudo i8kfan 2 2" I get "-1 2" and everything goes back to normal. The attached image is the psensor graph after logging in (passing lightdm). My machine is a Dell Inspiron 17R SE 7720, with an GT650M video card (Optimus technology) that I'm using with Prime+nouveau. + + I'm using the latest BIOS available (A16) with the SpeedStep activated. Please let me know if any other information can be useful.
