Kevin, please test in EXA mode. On the [8086:2a02] (rev 0c) setting
AccelMethod to "UXA" acually fixes things, at the cost of a 25%

Like Martin said, you should ideally test from a LiveCD or a fresh
untouched install. If you can't be bothered to reinstall Ubuntu or run
a LiveCD, at least test in EXA mode with Greedy Migration disabled.
