I think in this bug report there are some different causes that generate similar problems. But I'm sure about one of those. Starting my Ubuntu 8.04 with a usb mouse connected makes it work perfectly. If I start it without a usb mouse, so that I use only the touchpad, after a couple of seconds

powertop is a program that figures out what is polling the kernel and causes a high amount of interupts (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PowerTOP). It will also figure out what (if any) processes are hogging the CPU by polling it (asking it) ALL THE TIME and tieing up the CPU. You can manually
