Branching off from the CPU and X paths of analysis, have you made sure network performance is not a factor in all this? A tact also in the browser, is use the inspect tools to see the response time of the request pieces. IF it is at all network related that my yield some information. Ken On

The card is a FirePro V5900. Unlike the 6950/6970 it is single-slot. However, the slot below it should be kept vacant to allow for heat dissipation, which I've employed a 12cm fan to take care of. The card has a pair of DP outputs, and the monitor (MultiSync EA244UHD) has a pair of DP inputs. I

Have you tried vmstat to find bottleneck: is it CPU in userspace or in kernel or storage? Which WM are you using? Could it be WM issue? Try to use lower resolution (I know that resolution is locked for LCDs, but you can try just to make sure it is not the problem)

It's using the framebuffer driver in EFI mode, so you're getting a resolution native to the monitor but no acceleration. Try making an xorg.conf file in /etc/X11/ with the following contents: Section "Device" Identifier "drm" Driver "intel" EndSection (reboot) -- Patrick
