Hi,

do you have an idea which version you tried last which didn't show this
behavior?

Also, can you try running latencytop to see if that shows where the
delays are?

(if rc8 was fine, 18ce3751ccd488c78d3827e9f6bf54e6322676fb is the most
likely suspect patch..

can you see if reverting this helps?
