Yes, it becomes slower, but the CPU usage is only slightly higher. I just notice it, when watching movies by experiencing lags every 5 seconds for instance.) But I guess, that should not bother us, since this issue is none (at least for me) in higher kernel-versions and I doubt, that this has something to do with our bug. Do you agree?
Agreed, 'first things first'.
I've talked to one of the dev's on IRC ('airlied') and he requested we post the output of the following command: "radeontool regmatch '*'" for both the last known 'good' commit (44ca7478d46aaad488d916f7262253e000ee60f9) and the 'bad' commit (d594e46ace22afa1621254f6f669e65430048153 + 8e36113082821980c60ce89a6c5d45fc9492fc26). I've already attached my output, could you please do the same?
p.s. You can find radeontool here (http://cgit.freedesktop.org/~airlied/radeontool/) if your distro does not provide a package.
