disabling makes freeze duration much shorter but you lose your desktop
session every time.  DATA LOSS inevitable.

sudo perl -p -i -n -e "s/enabled=1/enabled=0/" /etc/default/apport
sudo systemctl disable apport
sudo service apport stop

If I remove apport and whoopsie, then the duration of the freeze is reduced to 
5 seconds under light load and desktop is not lost.  This uninstalls ubuntu-bug 
as well.
sudo apt-get purche apport whoopsie

The system still freezes and under load it could be much worse.   Gnome-
shell is apparently still crashing but it isn't compounded by apport
delays.

If I reinstall apport but not whoopsie, I still have the long delay.

cat /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern
|/usr/share/apport/apport %p %s %c %d %P %E

If I change it to coredump, gnome-shell still crashes the whole desktop
sudo bash -c 'echo "core" >/proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern'

If I change it back and then purge apport, it changes the pattern to:
!/usr/share/apport/apport %p %s %c %d %P %E

And gnome-shell crashes somewhat gracefully, allowing you to keep your
desktop.  What happens under system load remains to be seen.
