The problem exists on an AMD platform too, but not as bad as on a Intel platform. By changing the clocksource to the acpi_pm, you can recuce the problem a bit on a Intel platform, but the system feels a little bit slower.
Using ext4 reduces the problem enormous. Even firefox is usable while eclipse is indexing the kernel build tree.The problem still exists on heavy io.
