The bisected commit was from between rc2 and rc3:
$ git describe 504c7267a1e84b157cbd7e9c1b805e1bc0c2c846
v3.6-rc2-88-g504c726
The fact that reverting that commit does not help implies that some commits
thereafter also expose the bug.

Do you have a reliable reproduce method? As you can see in the linked bug it
was caused by relatively low memory pressure combined with high I/O (caching?
delays? Who knows).

It is unlikely that Optimus has anything to do with this.
