With kernel linux-image-2.6.38-8-generic 2.6.38-8.40, kswapd does not use significant CPU time any more.

However, now one or two kworker(s) sit(s) on top of the process list, constantly using between 20 and 40% CPU, and the system still gets unresponsive (freezing GUI, including mouse) from time to time while rsync is running.

It's definitely better than before, but still not really usable and definitely much worse than with Karmic's kernel.
