Thanks, will bear that in mind.  The question of a bootchart update has
arisen before, but it's not a simple merge as there've been a number of
local enhancements to the version in Ubuntu AIUI.

In this case I would be surprised if kernel thread graphing told us anything
beyond what dmesg already shows - that interacting with hardware appears to
be slowed down across the board.
