Title:
  High load average on Lucid for nominal/idle system use

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  This is a VBox guest.  It has been updated to the latest kernel.

  Doing an rsync of a folder containing a large amount of data in sub
  folders to an NFS mounted devices.   the load average will rise to +6
  and render the console frozen.  Trying to login to the guest via ssh
  will wait for 10 min before the tcp session times out.  Rebooting and
  Trying again the system did not freeze, but the load average stays
  high.  Observations of iftop, iotop and top show no process is taking
  the system resources (zero io on iftop and iotop).  could not Ctrl-C
  out of rsync.  Forced to kill rsync pid.

  Similar load average comes from doing intra vdi copies of large files.
  Doing a DD of /dev/zero from the virtual system to a USB mounted
  devices also causes the issue above.

  Parent OS is also lucid with latest patches.  Moving large files from
  one device to another causes similar load average.  Identical
  response.

  After the #42 kernel load averages went from 50 to 5 but lack of
  usability still remains.  Though the load average numbers are more
  realistic, the issue of load averages climbing to high numbers for
  what should be a modest request seems unreasonable.

  Likewise when "idle" the systems exhibit load averages above 0.50 when
  only a terminal is open on them.  (all VMs shutdown, no browser, etc
  active).
