Title:
  Trackpad on Dell Latitude E5500 becomes insufferably slow

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gnome-control-center

  The last version of the Kernel where this problem DIDN'T happen was
  2.6.32-35.  With every kernel since, as the number of open apps (and,
  I'm assuming, memory usage) increases there are jags where the
  trackpad or mouse become almost non-moving.  The speed of the cursor
  motion drops to almost zero and the delay is astonishingly long.
  Eventually, if you stop moving and wait, the mouse will catch up to
  your current position, but any usage thereafter causes the same
  problem.  Stopping and restarting doesn't help.  When I revert to the
  kernel mentioned above it works fine, but every kernel since has had
  the problem.  The problem seems much worse when the PC is attached to
  its docking station, but even when using the PC on its own I can see
  the small blips that will, I know, mean the mouse/trackpad will be
  unusable the next time I hook it up to the docking station.
