Comment(by Quozl):

 Diagnosis ... the stall corresponds to an unlink(2) call made by the
 datastore service.

 {{{
 02:54:15.303495
 unlink("/home/olpc/.sugar/default/datastore/checksums/65033cfd0f41ac47b09e9f20c3bec62b/91491990-
 5bd-42f0-8d79-093f63aa5534") = 0
 02:54:21.379574
 stat64("/home/olpc/.sugar/default/datastore/checksums/65033cfd0f41ac47b09e9f20c3bec62b",
 {st_mod =S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=4096, ...}) = 0
 }}}

 So the stall is probably unavoidable in the current design of Sugar ...
 this is a design problem in the Journal activity.
