** Description changed: After upgrading from 20.04 to 20.20 on my laptop, the machine became extremely slow. After a days work I noticed that it never got any faster, and the machine was a lot colder than usual. Running cat /proc/cpuinfo and sudo cpupower frequency-info I noticed that the CPU was locked to 400Mhz. After some googling I found reports of people having trouble with CPU frequency governors on kernel 5.8. I tried to add intel_pstate=active to grub, but that didn't help. My short term workaround is to choose the old 5.4 kernel from 20.04. With this kernel everything is snappy again! Currently it's running at 3.2 Ghz with little load.
