There's something else very wrong when going from 3.4.9 to 3.4.16. I've done it on two machines here, one the AMD-450 server (64-bit), and the other my main notebook (Core2duo 32-bit-PAE).
Both systems feel much more sluggish than usual with 3.4.16 running. Reverted them both back to earlier kernels (3.4.9, 3.4.4-PAE), and the usual responsive feel has returned. Vague, I know, but something bad happened in there somewhere.
