Although this improves the situation the machine still has large pauses.
- compile a kernel with lockdebug.
- start a build
- hold a key down at the shell prompt and notice how it behaves

Every 3 or so lines (of 80 characters), you'll notice a large pause
where the machine is unresponsive for a couple of seconds, and then comes back.
