Renice the process kcryptd between 0 and 5 improves the user experience drastically. I am doing a heavy io load right now , burning an iso image to the harddisk. It still gets a 50%-60% usage , but it doesn't block. I can type and use the the os, what an idea right?
Even though it is taking 50% cpu , the desktop is still usable , before it would completely block. sudo renice 0 (what ever kcryptd process id is) -- kcryptd process doesn't utilize multiple cpus https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/246413 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
