@uengberg: in my research for another bug/problem (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/power-profiles-daemon/+bug/1977660 - I did not yet document it there) i found out that power profile behaviour is strange and actually i realized that the settings available in gnome *do* have a short term effect on Kernel parameters, but keep jumping back to the other setting.
Then I connected this finding mentally with the finding i made here, namely that performance is better in lxde then in gnome, and I tried to see whats happening if I completely remove the power-profile-daemon, because I though it is probably bad when a Kernel or the Thinkpad firmware cannot properly set power profiles and keepy jumping back and forth... Wile this is only how I imagine these things working with my less than incomplete knowledge, I can says than Video playback in gnome works quite nicely after having removed the dysfunctional power-profile-daemon package. You might try to see if that helps you too. BTW in my case video(and accompanying audio) is/was problematic in all browsers i tested - in firefox, chrome and chromium, as well as in Zoom App(which I guess is likely an electron app). I had no chance to test is zoom works now too. I still dont know if this all just is a symptomatic remedy or really the root cause, though. Just as much I dont know if this really is a Kernel, a thinkpad Firmware/ACPI, or another low level library problem. @mruffel: are there any cpu/performance tests suites we could run to make all this more measurable instead of having to say "oh run a bunch of Youtube videos and/or zoom calls and see if it starts stuttering after a while"? The thing not working properly could be video playback, but it could also just be some scheduling issue and a system that cant cope well with single processes creating short term CPU spikes, as gnome-shell does and as in Video Playback the RDD Process appears to cause. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1973434 Title: massive performance issues since 22.04 upgrade Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Hi, After upgrading to 22.04 i had to fight with massive performance issues. Browsers appeared to hang every other minute, youtube videos being laggy and hang in between, applications in a virtualbox VM where slow and also hanging every other minute to a level of not being useable. On a pretty recent and powerful system just 2 years old. I noticed CPU jumps in top, but also somehow thought it could be a graphics issue so invested some time installing nvidia drivers properly. Also I wondered if it might be the lowlatency kernel I normally use because I do audio stuff, and switched to generic. But nothing helped. ThenI had the idea it could be a kernel/scheduler issue because the system wasn't always slow, but it appeared certain things kept hanging when other processed had a lot of cpu for a few seconds. So I got a recent mainline kernel, configured it with my last running config from 21.10 before the update, made the debs and installed them, and now can tell that a mainline kernel 5.17.7 with all the dkms modules that i had before which got compiled automatically at installation brings back a "normal" performance. I can browse the web, run multiple youtube vids at once, even in another browser, have thunderbird running, and a virtualbox machine open with another browser for some web app testing and everything runs fine and smooth, no lagging. Not sure yet what the real reason is - either the kernel version, or a patch in the ubuntu version, or the 22.04 kernel config so far, or some configuration made in 21.10 that isn't good with 22.04 and it's kernel anymore. I will go ahead tomorrow and see if I can build a vanilla kernel with the config from the ubuntu 22.04 kernel and "make oldconfig", then I will be able to tell if only the config is making the difference. Please let me know of there is anything I should test to further analyze this issue, or any ideas I can try to solve it without having to run a mainline manually installed kernel. Thanks.
