luca, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available from
the very top line at the top of the page (the release names are
irrelevant for testing, and please do not test the daily folder)
following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow
additional upstream developers to examine the issue.

If the test did not allow you to test to the issue (ex. you couldn't boot into the OS) please make a comment in your report about this, and continue to test the next most recent kernel version until you can test to the issue. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags:
kernel-fixed-upstream
kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested exactly shown as:
kernel-fixed-upstream-3.18-rc6

This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil
icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description.

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags:
kernel-bug-exists-upstream
kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's
Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your
understanding.

Title:
  Performance degraded and video glitches with i915 after upgrade to
  utopic

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  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.
