You have been subscribed to a public bug:
Whilst debugging 'slow instance performance' on a Ubuntu Bionic based
cloud, I observed that the default cpu governor configuration was set to
'powersave'; toggling this to 'performance' (while in not anyway a
particularly green thing todo) resulted in the instance slowness
disappearing and the cloud performance being as expected (based on a
prior version of the deploy on Ubuntu Xenial).
AFAICT Xenial does the same thing albeit in a slight different way, but
we definitely did not see the same performance laggy-ness under a Xenial
based cloud.
Raising against systemd (as this package sets the governor to
'powersave') - I feel that the switch to 'performance' although
appropriate then obscures what might be a performance/behavioural
difference in the underlying kernel when a machine is under load.
