Tested additional mainline kernels installed via UKUU. 4.19.66 LTS worked great. So did 4.20.17, the last in its series. The performance regression appeared when I tested 5.0.3, and as noted above, still persists in 5.2.8.
This may be a mainline kernel bug, but I'll leave it open here for further input. I'm a complete layman in this area. ** Description changed: Mesa's RADV performance has dropped nearly 40% across multiple applications since upgrading my HWE kernel to 5.0.0-23. Reverting to the 4.18 kernel fixed the issue. The problem was still - present when testing kernel 5.2.8 from the Ubuntu mainline PPA. + present when testing kernel 5.2.8 from the Ubuntu mainline PPA installed + via UKUU.
