Public bug reported: I tested this installing the Disks tool and running a read-only benchmark. The transfer rate is very slow (2-3 MB/s) unless I'm moving the cursor, then it jumps up.
As I understand this could have something to do with triggering/handling interrupts. In this context it might be relevant to know that installing and running Xenial, I now need to have nolapic or noapic (or both) for the system to work at all. This is not the case with Trusty (also installed on this machine).
