Can confirm the fix works here too. Compute jumps to 100%, but system remains fully usable and the process moves on slowly.

Although small, this is a pretty good device hardware wise, and while executing the system has plenty of RAM (32GB total, 10GB+ left), almost all CPUs are idle, no IO wait. [1] Intel Core Ultra 164U variant at: https://psref.lenovo.com/syspool/Sys/PDF/Think_Tablets/ThinkPad_X12_Detachable_Gen_2/ThinkPad_X12_Detachable_Gen_2_Spec.pdf Things I've tried: 1) Lowering the priority of ffmpeg with renice 2) Lowering the priority of ffmpeg with ionice 3) Using a single thread in ffmpeg 4) Switching to the lowlatency kernel, with all recommended fiddling 5) Switching to the OEM kernel (6.8.0-1010-oem) Nothing even touches the complete lack of responsiveness. The system becomes so unresponsive that when typing nothing shows up, and then characters show repeated as long sequences all at once.
