I did some search again. It looks many other distributions (Ubuntu, Arch, Manjaro) have this issue as well. Users report this as a regression since kernel 4.2. Some suggested to disable swap, which makes this problem go away for them. I'm testing this right now and it seem to make significant difference. I tested this by copying bigger files to an usb stick. With swap enabled, my mouse freezes many times while copying. With swap disabled the freezes do not occur. While it's not a perfect solution, it makes my life happier. Anyone else can confirm this?
