As this bug was marked invalid, I opened a new one, bug #1246793 on Launchpad. This problem still affects me, Ie. the problem may not be X related but marking it "invalid" and letting the problem continue doesn't actually fix anything. Feel free to "me too" the new bug? Best regards.

This is most often visible when just about every process takes very high CPU (e.g. gnome-panel consuming 60% or chrome consuming 118% of CPU). Working with the laptop is almost impossible due to very slow processing. Clicking "applications" in panel takes 1 second to appear. During the above state - as soon as I disconnect my power adapter, CPU usage drops to less than 10%, and system becomes super smooth and quick again. Also, when the battery gets completely charged, laptop (kindof) stops lagging much. Also, I took my battery out of my laptop, and powered it directly via AC adapter, and system was super smooth. My laptop is dual-boot (despite my hatred for Windows), and I have tested battery charging on Windows. THere is NO LAG AT ALL ! This confirms that there is no hardware fault, as windows is quick and fast during battery charging. The state of the system is confirmed - means I can recreate the problem almost every time. I have tried "top" to see processes and how they look, but no "strange" process is there for one to be able to kill. Its essentially the same processes that start hogging my CPU completely (chrome, nautilus, gnome-panel, just-any-running- process.... ) I have also tried another brand new charger from Lenovo - but same problem there.
