Thanks Joseph! I'm seeing the same effect described by Martin. Boot+lightdm+loading Unity 7 is not as fast as it used to be in 16.04.
I need to compare timings (4.8 patched vs 4.8 vs 4.4) tomorrow to make sure, but I also feel like it's a little faster now with the patches applied. The number of kworker processes after boot has reduced drastically using the patched kernel, it's a sane number now (~30), not 1004 like when using the unpatched 4.8 kernel. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1626436 Title: [4.8 regression] boot has become very slow To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1626436/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
