I believe this is still present in 16.04. Specifically I become CPU bottlenecked (100% on one core by /usr/lib/apt/methods/http) when downloading packages within AWS EC2 instances (better bandwidth with download servers there). Besides the issues around locking up a core, this makes several processes take noticeably more time than they should.
