Well, I disabled intel speedstep in the bios and things seem to be better. Startup time now is around 1.20 mins (still better than 3mins), both in plugged and unplugged state (booting in plugged state was around 45 secs before tho). I'll use my PC for a bit more, trying another couple of reboots and then I'll confirm if and how this helped.

That extra information you discovered is really insightful I think, where your power management stays as desired after unplugging (after boot), based on the two scenarios you listed. This should make it possible to narrow it down to 3 further detailed scenarios. I'm no expert btw, so listen to Marek who is far, far more knowledge than I. But for now, heres a suggestion to narrow down the issue further based on your new post. It probably means either of the three scenarios: A) Xen is not changing to its own preferred power-settings over the BIOS/UEFI/EFI/Grub boot power settings (Can be changed bottom up from BIOS/UEFI/EFI/Grub?). B) Xen is maybe tricked into believing the preferred power-settings due to incorrect BIOS/UEFI/EFI/Grub settings (can be changed top-down from Xen?). C) No settings available in BIOS/UEFI or executable commands in EFI/Grub (Nothing that can be done). So there is possible a top-down apporach, a bottom-up approach, and a scenario where you cannot do anything. I believe the command Marek listed is a top-down approach, while changing power-settings in your BIOS/UEFI/EFI/Grub is a bottom-up approach. Given your relied information in your last post above, you can probably deduce that a bottom-up approach can work as well, since as you describe it, the power-state you're in during initial boot, decides the overall power-settings irregardless if you unplug later on. Question then, would be, what to change in BIOS/UEFI/EFI/Grub? And the Xen top-down command Marek mentioned above might also work too. Just be careful with power-settings, it can damage your hardware severely if a setting is poorly set, and it's way out of my league to say with any certainty which settings are fine to change, and which are not. For now though, maybe try take a stroll in your BIOS/UEFI and see if you can identify and suspicious power settings? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

No, my PC is a Dell XPS13, not a Latitude. But I have some news: The booting problem is 100% dependent on being plugged or not. Precisely, I observed the following behaviors: Booting plugged: Everything is normal, PC is fast. If I unplug it afterwards nothing really happens and performance stays the same. Booting unplugged: FUBAR. Slow, unresponsive, battery draining over 9000. Plugging AC adapter in afterwards doesn't help at all. Dunno if my intuition is the right one, but it may be that the booting process, when unplugged, triggers some sort of fucked up setting regarding power management that causes havoc. Note that, in my case, the only important factor to consider is if the AC adapter is plugged/unplugged AT BOOT. Connecting/disconnecting it afterwards has no effect whatsoever on performance. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
