I am currently using the linux kernel 2.6.33 and the the desktop responsiveness is awful on my machine compared to the 2.6.32.x kernel. It's even worse than I have even seen it before. The load avg is rising to >7 very quickly, while writing many small file to the filesystem. I can make some tests with my configuration, but a kernel developer should tell me which tests.
