[Bug 1264346] Re: machine very slow with ondemand governor

 

Laurent Bonnaud, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better. As per your https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1264346/+attachment/3936150/+files/BootDmesg.txt :
[    0.000000] ACPI BIOS Warning (bug): 32/64X FACS address mismatch in FADT - 0xCABD4E40/0x00000000CABD4D40, using 32 (20130517/tbfadt-522)

[    1.833400] [drm] Wrong MCH_SSKPD value: 0x16040307
[    1.833403] [drm] This can cause pipe underruns and display issues.
[    1.833404] [drm] Please upgrade your BIOS to fix this.

Hence, as per http://www.dell.com/support/drivers/us/en/19/Product/latitude-e6520 an update is available for your BIOS (A19). If you update to this following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BiosUpdate , does it change anything? If it doesn't, could you please both specify what happened, and just provide the output of the following terminal command:
sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date

Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so
posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful.

For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette
.

Thank you for your understanding.

Title:
  [Dell Latitude E6520] After suspend, machine very slow with ondemand
  governor

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  After a suspend/resume using the ondemand governor the system is very slow to answer some inputs. The text output pauses for several seconds while I am typing this text. Trying to scroll a firefox window takes several seconds. Switching tabs in firefox takes several seconds:
  cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/c*/cpufreq/scaling_governor
  ondemand
  ondemand
  ondemand
  ondemand

  WORKAROUND: Setting the governor to "performance" fixes this problem.
