I can confirm that using 2.6.36 kernel from natty (I'm using the pae variant) the situation it's much better, there are still some short spike in kworker thread from time to time which causing short freezes . disabling the poll parameter in kms_drm_helper mitigate the problem completely (as in the 36 rc series).
