I'm not sure it is resolvable only at the kernel level but overall GUI responsiveness might improve a bit. We should not allow user process to make whole system become unresponsive. I encounter freezes from time to time, during which I can only move mouse pointer and must wait for a minute or two because some IO intensive process is working on the background. I also encounter lags when copying larger amount of data to encrypted volumes (CPU intensive operation) but I'd be more than happy to wait a bit longer but have some reasonable partition of spare resources for other tasks.
