After upgrading to linux-4.6, qt5 apps become terribly slow.

Something like subsurface where normally scrolling from one dive to the next is near instantaneous now takes a few seconds to respond to each keystroke. With qt5-webkit, when I type in a text field on any web page (such as Arch's bug tracker), the letters I type take several seconds to appear. I could go on but you get the picture.

Reverting to linux-4.5.4 fixes this issue.

I have no idea how to debug this; this bug report is for now intended to prevent linux-4.6 from moving to [core].
This task depends upon

I see nothing really suspicious in the logs (attached). It might just be the new i915 module that's buggy.

probably a problem with your graphic card driver, if it's the case you may also have problems with openGL applications,

you can confirm that by using a generic driver ( vga ) or test with a virtual machine ( virtualbox, qemu )

I'm still experiencing this issue with 4.6.1.

Still not working with 4.6.1-2. I'll try bisecting this later today.

Apparently there is not much interest in bug reports for [testing] packages, so I'm closing this one and letting Tobias deal with the same bug in [core].
