After updating to 22.04 from 20.04, I have experienced the same performance issues. And adding "inter_iommu=off" did not help. The laptop is with Intel CPU and integrated graphics, so it seemed like the correct option.
Investigating a bit further, I notices unusually low CPU temperature (around 36°C idle, while before the update it was usually around 45°C idle). Installing linux-tools-generic package and using `turboprop` and `stress` to bring all CPU cores to 100%, it showed this: ``` Core CPU Avg_MHz Busy% Bzy_MHz TSC_MHz IPC IRQ SMI POLL C1 C1E C3 C6 C7s C8 C9 C10 POLL% C1% C1E% C3% C6% C7s% C8% C9% C10% CPU%c1 CPU%c3 CPU%c6CPU%c7 CoreTmp PkgTmp GFX%rc6 GFXMHz GFXAMHz Totl%C0 Any%C0 GFX%C0 CPUGFX% Pkg%pc2 Pkg%pc3 Pkg%pc6 Pkg%pc7 Pkg%pc8 Pkg%pc9 Pk%pc10 SYS%LPI PkgWatt CorWatt GFXWatt RAMWatt PKG_% RAM_% - - 399 99.72 400 1800 0.92 22289 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.28 0.00 0.00 0.00 43 43 77.63 300 300 399.82 99.96 20.87 20.84 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 1.79 0.93 0.12 0.48 0.00 0.00 0 0 399 99.72 400 1800 0.94 1476 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.28 0.00 0.00 0.00 43 43 77.63 300 300 399.83 99.96 20.87 20.84 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 1.79 0.93 0.12 0.48 0.00 0.00 0 4 399 99.72 400 1800 0.92 1514 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.28 1 1 399 99.72 400 1800 0.90 1692 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.28 0.00 0.00 0.00 43 1 5 399 99.70 400 1800 0.85 11087 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.02 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.30 2 2 399 99.72 400 1800 0.93 1488 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.28 0.00 0.00 0.00 43 2 6 399 99.72 400 1800 0.94 1335 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.28 3 3 399 99.72 400 1800 0.95 1518 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.28 0.00 0.00 0.00 42 3 7 399 99.72 400 1800 0.96 2179 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.28 ``` All cores running at 400MHz, which should be the idle cpu-state, not the cpu-state when the cpu is at 100%. Also it must be noted that the slowness remained after reboot and even on the boot screen (after adding intel_iommu=off), including the password screen from the BIOS (outside grub/linux). Restart seems not to help. However, after going to sleep state (G1 I think), which happens automatically after the lid is closed, and then waking up, it was fixed.

So the solution seems is to force changing of CPU power state either by powering off and bringing the computer to sleep. Since I did that after adding the "intel_iommu=off", I have no idea of this is required or not. Also it must be noted, that it seems both ubuntu 20.04 and 22.04 tend to operate on higher CPU power-state that I would expect when idling. A CPU with less than 1% operates on average 1GHz (average out from changing of powerstates), where the highest CPU power-state seems to be 400MHz for this CPU, an interesting fact I learned from this bug. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1973434 Title: massive performance issues since 22.04 upgrade Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Hi, After upgrading to 22.04 i had to fight with massive performance issues. Browsers appeared to hang every other minute, youtube videos being laggy and hang in between, applications in a virtualbox VM where slow and also hanging every other minute to a level of not being useable. On a pretty recent and powerful system just 2 years old. I noticed CPU jumps in top, but also somehow thought it could be a graphics issue so invested some time installing nvidia drivers properly. Also I wondered if it might be the lowlatency kernel I normally use because I do audio stuff, and switched to generic. But nothing helped. ThenI had the idea it could be a kernel/scheduler issue because the system wasn't always slow, but it appeared certain things kept hanging when other processed had a lot of cpu for a few seconds. So I got a recent mainline kernel, configured it with my last running config from 21.10 before the update, made the debs and installed them, and now can tell that a mainline kernel 5.17.7 with all the dkms modules that i had before which got compiled automatically at installation brings back a "normal" performance. I can browse the web, run multiple youtube vids at once, even in another browser, have thunderbird running, and a virtualbox machine open with another browser for some web app testing and everything runs fine and smooth, no lagging. Not sure yet what the real reason is - either the kernel version, or a patch in the ubuntu version, or the 22.04 kernel config so far, or some configuration made in 21.10 that isn't good with 22.04 and it's kernel anymore. I will go ahead tomorrow and see if I can build a vanilla kernel with the config from the ubuntu 22.04 kernel and "make oldconfig", then I will be able to tell if only the config is making the difference. Please let me know of there is anything I should test to further analyze this issue, or any ideas I can try to solve it without having to run a mainline manually installed kernel. Thanks.
