What may be useful to a 3 year old bug report other than the log files? The problem still exists on that computer. I added zram swap shortly after this bug report and it helped some. Some. Using hugepages currently and there times when it's easier to walk away and do something else for 10 minutes while some i/o intensive cron job like mlocate (since uninstalled) thrashes. Obscuring the problem is that some apt update set the scheduler to "deadline" rather than "cfq" so ionice values don't work. Forcing it back to "cfq" helps some - at least the entire user interface isn't locked up for half an hour.
