yes, it's slub_debug. ;( 

Sorry for confusion.

I see you also have the tendency to call it SLUG instead of SLUB.
It would be a more appropriate name, I think :-)

Also, you could try disabling slug_debug on boot with the normal
rawhide kernel. That seems to be where most of the performance gets
lost. Just add "slub_debug=-' to your boot line or /etc/grub2.cfg.

It has a Intel 2nd generation video controller (sandy bridge family)
and the driver is i915 which should be the less problematic driver I
think.

What video driver are using, nouveau, nvidia, or something else?  What are your 
X settings?  If X is consistently high then I would
suspect the video driver.  I have seen the same behavior using nouveau under 
3.9 kernel.  I have *not* seen that behavior using
nvidia under the 3.9 driver but I do have other issues using nvidia (like 
machine hangs and X crashes).

Rawhide kernels have debugging options enabled, which can cause
significant slowdowns in many situations.  Try using the
rawhide-kernel-nodebug repository to get non-debug kernels for Rawhide
and see if your problems persist:

Rawhide dead slow on my laptop

2013-04-08 Thread Ozan Çağlayan
Hi,

I don't know where to start for debugging but current rawhide on my
SandyBridge laptop is barely usable. Even a window switch takes 1-2
seconds. I looked over powertop and top outputs, load average when
idle (even no gnome-terminal, ran the commands on VT) can be between
0.8-1.1. Xorg is generally at the of top output, 30-40% CPU usage on
average. I also see some irq related stuff for iwlwifi in top output.
I was passing enable_rc6=0 to i915 but removed that but that didn't
help too.

Is there a known issue with 3.9 kernel that you are aware of? What
should I investigate further before opening a bug in bugzilla?

Thanks.
