I know there's the potential for snapshots causing a lot of IO, but I
think what was happening here was beyond that.  I had noatime on, and
was not running even any readonly disk access.  Also, I am pretty sure
that the disk access light was off, with the cpu at full utilization.

Other IO intensive operations such as updatedb or a raid1 check don't
pin the cpu and don't make the machine unresponsive.

I've never had an Ubuntu kernel where this worked well, but I haven't
tried every release, and obviously am not using it at the moment.  I'm
willing to retry it sometime.
