One good thing is that is looks like fewer core developers seem to get sucked up in these nowadays. (perhaps they have switched to some lockless RCU scheme?) In any case, I have seen minute long stalls with 100% cpu usage about 3 or 4 times. I believe it started around the time the interactive scheduler changes went in. One time it looked like the xserver, the windowmanager and an inactive xterm were having a foodfight (when the stall cleared a top showed 50%/25%/25% cpu usage for those processes). Interestingly this was right after a reboot, so most of the 1GB of memory was not used.
