snip The Systems are very unresponsive (long waiting on gui interaction). In Htop I can see a high CPU wait time,and a high cpu load, but in iftop no IO load is on the drives.

For me it looks like a graphics bug. I have downgraded the kernel to an older version but it does not resolve the problem. Maybe anybody know something about that. Or have an larger expertise in investigating this bug.
I use archlinux now longer than six years. I have solved much problems. But this bug makes me crazy..
One question is what your hardware is - certainly for newer machines with recent graphics hardware I have not had any serious slow response issues, but for machines that are 5 or 6 years old I have had very considerable limitations attempting to run plasma with its much more extensive demands on the graphics hardware. I have had to make the decision to only run plasma on my machines here that are Ivybridge processor family or later. On machines where the graphics hardware is a serious limitation I have found that some performance can be regained by switching off all desktop effects, and turning off desktop cube animation for switching between desktops within plasma. You might want to check or list the hardware on the machines affected? Others may have other suggestions but you would need to provide information about your hardware and possibly diagnostics from log files before people might be able to suggest what the problem is. -- mike c
