Unfortunately I cannot upgrade the bios of this machine due to lack of physical access to it. However I doubt that the bios (updated or not) should cause such a slow down. Also note that this happens on a different machine as well for which I'm going to add the bios information to this report. --

The first set of files sent by apport-collect is when running kernel 3.13, the second set is when running kernel 3.16. I can easily send a package of files that should reproduce the problem. The only requirement is to have gcc/make installed and some files needed to compile the C package. --

While I was watching the C compilation going on on my 8 cores, I noticed the following differences n the CPU usage reported by top. In kernel 3.16 all gcc instances (actually cc1) are using 25%, but with 3.13 they are all between 97 or 99%. Looks like a scheduler bug of some sort. -- You

I had the idea to downgrade the kernel to 3.13 (i.e. the latest kernel from the 14.04 release) and now I get the proper timing for the C tasks: with gcc 4.9: 497.400u 11.065s 1:43.49 491.3% 0+0k 191184+175312io 542pf+0w with gcc 4.8: 487.047u 12.155s 1:45.83 471.6% 0+0k 26304+172720io 411pf+0w
