Update-

So I never really got to the bottom of why this is happening on the 32-bit pae
3.7 kernel... I decided to install 64-bit ubuntu raring (13.04), and guess
what, it works flawlessly.

So apparently 32-bit kernels on new hardware is a bad idea, which I should have
known I suppose, but it's too bad because there are a few third party
applications that I am having a hard time with now because they don't properly
support 64-bit linux.

I am happy to report that ubuntu raring 64-bit runs exceptionally good on my
Toshiba L840 right out of the box, even with the stock kernel. No hard drive
performance issues, and no suspend lock-ups either ;)
