The only real problems I've had with f16 is the one recently discussed in another thread about the kernel problem with heavy disk I/O from one process bogging down everything else on the system. I was using mencoder the other day to convert a .wmv file to a big .avi file for simpler editing, and while writing the .avi everything on my system turned into a useless lump.
I have seen this as well:
* Thinkpad x220, fresh install of fedora 16 (3.1.7-1.fc16.x86_64) * 95 Gb tar file on a USB connected HDD * tar xvf "tarfile" where target location is also on the USB HDD * during operation mouse is responsive, but try to change focus or move a window and it takes many seconds * CPU load on all cores is negligible during operation, but system is unuseable * when operation completes system returns to normal responsiveness.
