And who is to say that comment #15 is not just a mere speculation at
best? What does he mean by limited hardware? Every comp that has HDD and
not SSD?

You really had someone's absolutely valid bug report closed because he
wasn't able to do a git bisect? Just how many times did you do that? Who
gave you the authority? How do you benefit from these kinds of things?

Just as Ronin has said: please show a little more empathy and stop
talking to people like a robot with your canned comments.

Title:
  Heavy Disk I/O harms desktop responsiveness

Status in The Linux Kernel:
  Fix Released
Status in The Linux Mint Distribution:
  New
Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: linux-source-2.6.22

  When compared with 2.6.15 in feisty, heavy disk I/O causes increased
  iowait times and affects desktop responsiveness in 2.6.22

  this appears to be a regression from 2.6.15 where iowait is much lower
  and desktop responsiveness is unaffected with the same I/O load

  Easy to reproduce with tracker - index the same set of files with
  2.6.15 kernel and 2.6.22 kernel and the difference in desktop
  responsiveness is massive

  I have not confirmed if a non-tracker process which does heavy disk
  i/o (especially writing) replicates this yet - will do further
  investigation soon
