Title:
  System unresponsive under (IO/memory?) load

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Tasks producing a lot of IO activity and/or use large amount of memory
  (uncompressing a .tar.gz file, starting a VM in virtualbox) starve the
  rest of the system. The system is responding to user input very slowly
  (jerky mouse pointer movement with >1s intervals etc). I have not seen
  that issue on previous Ubuntu versions, this is the first time I use a
  64 bit system with full disk encryption.

  64bit Xubuntu 13.10. Full disk encryption. 4GB memory. Sony Vaio
  laptop. Same behavior observed with Nouveau and NVidia drivers.
