The changes for bug #1473562 were intended to ensure that only one
instance of whoopsie-upload-all is running at a time, which should have
significantly improved the memory pressure caused by large numbers of
crash files. Uploading the files is by itself not expected to cause
performance issues for the device.  Can someone who's seeing this issue
please provide:

 - full output of 'ps auxwf' on an affected system
 - output of 'cat /proc/loadavg'
 - output of 'free'

Title:
  Too many crash files make the device utterly slow or unresponsive

Status in Canonical System Image:
  Confirmed
Status in apport package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Tested on krillin rc-proposed/118.

  This is a follow up from bug 1473562.

  When there are too many crash files, that the size of the crash files
  is large, and the device becomes utterly slow or unresponsive while
  the files are uploaded. It the same scenario than the bug in reference
  fixed in previous OTA but with different symptoms.

  Workaround:
  1. Disable wifi
  2. Enable developer mode
  3. Connect to the device with adb
  4. Clean up the crash directory
  $ sudo rm /var/crash/_*
