19 Could it be that some kind of Spectre mitigation is active? I just read about
20 some massive performance problems in Kernel 5.19+ on Skylake CPUs. Stable
21 gentoo kernel was upgraded to 6.1 recently, which could also be affected by
22 this problem.
23 See https://lkml.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/2209.1/02248.html
24
25 Try turning the mitigations off or revert to a 5.15.x kernel.
