Are you sure it is not only disk IO? In theory updatedb shouldn't
need much CPU, but it eats a lot of memory and causes stalls
in the disk (or at least that was my interpration on the stalls I saw)
If there is really a scheduling latency problem with updatedb
then that definitely needs to be fixed in the stock kernel.
