I think that piling up different problems into a single discussion, even if they
involve a common component (to a certain degree), is not going to help anybody.
If I have read this thread correctly (and taking the subject line as a witness)
the OP had a problem with heavy I/O activity screwing up interactivity.  I think
that it's not the same problem as sub-optimal performance of heavy CPU-bound
load, which is what you reported if I am not mistaken.
