[Bug 1590154] [NEW] System slow unless using touchpad

 

Public bug reported:

I tested this installing the Disks tool and running a read-only
benchmark. The transfer rate is very slow (2-3 MB/s) unless I'm moving
the cursor, then it jumps up.

As I understand this could have something to do with triggering/handling
interrupts. In this context it might be relevant to know that installing
and running Xenial, I now need to have nolapic or noapic (or both) for
the system to work at all. This is not the case with Trusty (also
installed on this machine).
