I have this problem as well, disabling my ralink wireless card fixes the issue. Wireless on = 100% CPU usage by events/0. Wireless off = 0% cpu usage by events/0.
-- events/0 uses all of cpu, causes big slowdown https://launchpad.net/bugs/67126 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
