Public bug reported:

With both the latest lowlatency kernel on 18.10 (4.18.0-10) and
previously with 4.15 on 18.04 the system is barely usable due to input
lag from the mouse and stuttering audio. This only starts a minute or
two after startup. Despite this graphics performance seems unaffected
and the CPU usage isn't abnormal. Both my mouse and audio device are USB
devices, and the dmesg log shows problems with the irq I think is
associated with the USB controller.

This issue does not exist in any mainline kernel I've tried -
4.16.0-041600-lowlatency, 4.18.0-041800-lowlatency,
4.19.0-041900-lowlatency. This suggests the issue is specific to the
Ubuntu kernel.

I've tried booting with the 'irqpoll' option but this didn't make any
difference.
