After upgrading from trusty to utopic, I noticed a performance degradation in the video performance. In particular the flash plugin video (like youtube) starts OK but it degrades after a couple of seconds when in full screen, looking as if it was doing something like 10~15 fps with videos that worked fine before. When switching to windowed more again, the video goes more smoothly but the seek bar blinks and other parts of the video present some glitches. Also when switching from X to a console, via Ctrl-Alt-F1 for example, it takes like 2 seconds to get the console, and I see the below message in the console. When switching back to X is fast as usual, but when switching back to the console, again 2 seconds delay and the message:
[  184.436477] [drm:intel_enable_lvds] *ERROR* timed out waiting for panel to power on

Other weird looking messages are found in dmesg:
[    4.673834] [drm] GMBUS [i915 gmbus panel] timed out, falling back to bit banging on pin 3
[...]
[    4.732400] [drm] Wrong MCH_SSKPD value: 0x16040307
[    4.732404] [drm] This can cause pipe underruns and display issues.
[    4.732406] [drm] Please upgrade your BIOS to fix this.

WORKAROUND: Change intel_pscale cpufreq driver setting to performance
from powersave.
