Hi Soren,
as said in my comment, I do have the responsiveness drop, but I don't think that is a bug. If you are swapping to a slow disk, that is kind of expected. However, what is not expected is a complete loss of responsiveness, with the UI hanging if even for a few seconds.
I find that the mentioned patch improves a lot this situation vs the vanilla kernel. Of course, the best option yet is to disable swap, but for me 4GB of ram is not enough...
