No more hangs or sluggishness. It would seem that something in 2.6.35 series kernels does not like my computer, or something in my computer does not like 2.6.35 series kernels. Based on LKML lurking I guess I'll need to learn how to git bisect the kernel and prepare myself for many reboot cycles. Either that or keep using old kernel and hope my problem is fixed either on purpose or by accident in future kernel releases.
