I see something similar, as a file is generated during a compile a get a 
momentary hang in the mouse, but it is not every compile.  I think I see it 
mostly when running some invocation of make -j, but I've not been able to 
lock down a particular set of circumstances where I do see it.  My 
sched_ule.c is at 1.80.  I have a UP system.  This behaviour, intermittant 
though it is, persists across a normal UP kernel, and also one with SMP+APIC 
(I was *supposed* to have two CPUs, but that is another issue ...) enabled. I 
have a PS/2 mouse and use moused.  I'm running KDE3.1.4.
