Me and Rohan would like a second opinion on bug 1378789 [SRU] Set the default IO scheduler to CFQ in Kubuntu Trusty https://launchpad.net/bugs/1378789
The kernel team have changed the scheduler away from upstream Linux defaults to deadlock which causes our desktop indexing programme Baloo to run very slow and take up lots of resources because it doesn't implement ionice suport. We'd like to update kubuntu-settings with a udev rule to change back to CFQ. We've changed this in utopic. There's minimal chance of regressions, it's an upstream default recommended by Linux and Baloo. We're getting quite a few reports of people saying their system is sluggish and the baloo upstream author is most grumpy. Scott would rather wait until after utopic is out where it would get more testing, but I doubt there will be much that most users can say beyond "it's not horribly slow".
