linux 2.2.9 seems fried (very high load, responsiveness loss)

[Adam Di Carlo <adam@onshore.com>]

Whenever running processor intensive tasks on my Ultra 5 using kernel
2.2.9, I start to see very high loads (>6) and an amazing loss of
responsiveness (i.e., keystrokes not responded to for 5 seconds).
Dropping back to 2.2.8 seems to fix matters.

Anyone else see this?
