Thanks. Let's hope it fixes the issue...
The system has been running with the new BIOS for over a week, with no
signs of this performance regression.
Well, Intel listed it as an erratum, so it appears that they not only
agree with you, but that their microcode division is actually
acknowledging it as a problem.
Let's hope this means they will design future microcode updates to avoid
such issues...
Let's hope so indeed; it's been a rather unwelcome result of a dist-upgrade!
