Is it really a good idea to mark this well-described bug as a duplicate
of something that just describes a solution?
I find one of the most valuable things we can do to propel the community
forward is to have accurately described bugs so people can get together
and discuss the same issue (even after a fix becomes available). But by
marking this as a duplicate of bug 1637520, that can't happen.

Title:
4.8 kernel, under heavy load desktop unusable
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
I've updated from Xenial to Yakkety on my Desktop - Sandybridge
Macbook Pro 8,1
With Xenial, on 4.4 kernel, doing a compile (with ninja for example),
I could use all CPU cores and still have a usable desktop: app
switching was relatively quick, I could (slowly) surf the web while
the compile was happening.
Now with Yakkety 4.8 kernel, doing a compile using all cores totally
seizes up my desktop - app switching is incredibly slow, I see redraw
errors, mouse has poor response.
As a workaround, I have to manually leave a CPU core free when
compiling.
