ok, i got your -rc2 debug numbers (off-list), and it doesnt look pretty:

before-lag:

 sleep_max                :           259502076
 block_max                :            27690921
 wait_max                 :            16381558

after-lag:

 sleep_max                :           584186160
 block_max                :           261780071
 wait_max                 :           881255577

ouch! a nearly 1 second delay got observed by the scheduler - something 
is really killing your system!

what does 'top' show during an upload? Is any system related task out of 
whack? Could you try to get a readprofile or an oprofile output from the 
kernel, so that we can see what is slowing it down so much? It could be 
something networking related in v2.6.22-rc2.
