Well, I had to try that here. I've got a Celeron 650Mhz with 320MB ram and a crappy 14GB HD and yes the finds in the xterms are stopping for some time ... BUT X is 100% responsive. there is no sluggishness, I can use mozilla, etc without a problem. so seriously, who makes 10 finds at the same time and finds are read from FS (I have XFS) so it might be a problem with that. So I don't think the scheduler is bad, I think it is great. When I switched to 2.5 the first time on that box it was like "WOW", so little swapping and KDE is so smooth ... thats so wow ...
Still there are some minor problems (japanese keyboard eg) but that will smooth out when Programs get adapted.
But for your problem, it might get better for these kind of things in later versions :)
