[Bug 609113] [NEW] Thinkpad T400: kslowd processes take to much CPU, making mouse control impossible

[Till Kamppeter]

Public bug reported:

When I move the mouse (both internal touchpad and external Bluetooth) on
the X display the movement gets uneven, as the computer had too high CPU
load and other programs (like glxgears) get slowed down. In the output
of "top" there are 4 "kslowdXXX" processes taking a lot of CPU.

I am on Maverick with the following kernel:

till at till:~/ghostscript/gpl/gs-test$ uname -a
Linux till 2.6.35-6-generic #9-Ubuntu SMP Thu Jul 1 03:01:23 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux
till at till:~/ghostscript/gpl/gs-test$ 

Graphics is Intel.

After googling I found this thread which seems to discuss exactly the
same problem:
