System interactivity take a nose dive, including the ability to halt perf.
The commands do get through but they take a while.
Other processes tend to make signifigantly reduced progress.
Also it tends to slow down all running processes.
My guess it is the NMIs overwhelming the system but I have not found a good way
to profile perf gone wild so it is only a guess.

The issue mitigate somewhat by restrictring the number of cpus perf is
recording or by not using the -g option, but sometimes I do need data on the
whole system.
