Hi,
I'm afraid the problem is not specific to Fedora ... I see
something similar on my Gentoo box after upgrading kernel from
2.6.39 to 3.0.6
I haven't tried with USB but I can see whole system being pretty
slow if there is high SATA load.
And also I had to stop bitcoin computations on my GPU, as the GUI
became totally unresponisve while running poclbm - this didn't
happen with previous kernel, I could run the computations in the
background while working with the GUI.
/me is thinking about kernel downgrade ...

This a subjective comment, but it seems that I/O bound procs
such as disk copy are seriously impacting GUI response more
than before. For example, switching windows can take 30
seconds or more. Indeed it appears the system has halted
except that the clock seconds keep ticking away.
Setup: R6550 8GB Fedora 16 64 bit accessed via TigerVNC over
a gigabit LAN.
