One issue I've noticed with both 12.x and 13.1 is occasionally, there's something generating a lot of disk activity and pretty much locking up the system for a few minutes.

I tracked it down in the end to the Lightning component of Thunderbird. I noticed a similar behaviour here: when I run "compact" on my inbox folder in Thunderbird (800 MB on an MS Exchange server over IMAP), my laptop is also heavily impacted by it (very perceptible sluggishness during the whole operation, complete "freeze" for a couple seconds at
[...] the end of it). This under OpenSuSE 12.3 running on a Thinkpad T530 with 4GB RAM (but with the NIC operating at only 100 Mbps -- perhaps this plays a role). Not much of a problem in my case, since I only compact the folder on request. I just thought I would mention it. Cheers. Bye. Ph.
