Another thing is that the bash loop "while true ; do /bin/true ; done" is not possible to interrupt with ctrl-c.

I have reproduced this on a uniprocessor machine and determined
that it is a bash bug. I will submit a bash bug report and sample patch that fixes the problem (but may be incorrect in other ways), and will cc it to linux-kernel. Look for the subject "Patch(?): bash-2.05/jobs.c loses interrupts."

I have not yet investigated the other report of "sluggish" behavior.
