I was having the problem originally described: very slow 'reading package lists' in 'apt-get update'

Using 32 bit kernel 3.5.0-39-generic on latest thinkpad X230 with 16 GB RAM. Samsung 840 pro.

Either of two things made the problem go away:

 - reduce RAM to 8 GB
 - downgrade to kernel 3.2.0-52-generic-pae

Didn't try the available 3.8 package as the vbox drivers had previously failed to compile so I removed it.
