[Bug 537396] Re: events/0 spikes CPU every 3 seconds since upgrade to 2.6.31-20

[Kevin Lenaghan]

I have a lenovo R61 7736-CTO

In the last 2 weeks I have had strange slowness issues that have never
happened on my laptop before.   One of the reasons for using Ubuntu was
the support fast startup speeds and the quick response of the apps
including firefox.

I took the advice of the above and ran "sudo ifconfig eth0 down".
Problem was gone instantly.  No nore slow internet browsing no more
hangs and missed key strokes.

It does seem to tie into the last big update however I also did the
following in the last month.

Upgrade Openoffice from 3.2 to 3.2.1
Upgrade Virtualbox to latest version 3.2.6 r63112

my ethernet lights are still on
