Public bug reported: This issue occurs upon boot and when attempting to open the Unity video lens.
The process: python /usr/lib/unity-lens-video/unity-lens-video uses all available disk IO causing full system performance decrease and application hangs (grey outs). 98-99% IO while monitoring with IOTOP. This happens for about 5 minutes on boot without clicking on the lens and once that has completed it starts to happen again when you click on the lens. The lens does not even work during this long process. This is most likely exasperated by the widely experienced kernel disk IO and scheduling bug which has been ongoing for some time now. Some improvements have been made but I'm not sure if they have all been imported into the latest stable Precise kernels. I suggest that the video lens should not be installed by default as normal users will not understand why their PC is freezing for no reason. Can anyone else confirm this issue or is it specific to my PC and amount of files. Takes about 5-10 minutes for the system to become usable again. Then the Video lens once again provides search results.
