Public bug reported:

Hello, several times since upgrading to focal from 19.04 I've found my
computer entirely unresponsive for periods of twenty or thirty seconds.
No mouse movement, no keyboard input, the screen output does not change.

My computer was using swap space and despite very slow writeout speeds
well below what the NVME drive can handle, the computer was unusable.

I've captured some vmstat 1 output and top output that I started
collecting during the event. (Normally one very long painful period is
followed by several shorter periods of uselessness.)

Thanks
