It seems it's a major issue with recent kernels, at least I have the same
with >2.6.30 ones, mainly with pendrives on USB port, even if I only
download from the net directly to the pendrive, it seems no I/O can be
served towards the hdd either in a reasonable speed and a responsive way,
window manager took 10 mins to draw window borders and so on ...
