I had a "problem" with tlp & powertop when i tried to used this tools to
configure my system (laptop) to conserve energy,
I enabled all tunable options, and I started to experience smiler symptom
as you describe above,
where my mouse will suddenly stop working, and my disk was contently
sniping down and that created lags when I was switching tabs in the browser.
