Details

Description:
System responsiveness slows to a crawl on the latest kernel(6.0.2) while kernel(5.18) is pretty smooth.. Laggy and chuggy rendering, slow startup of all applications(about 400ms more?). This is namely on x11, when I run sway(wayland) everything seems to be more smooth, but it seems changing kernels drastically effects performance on x11(i3). OBS can only record at less than 10 FPS while 5.18 kernel can do the full 30-60fps, the list goes on.

https://youtu.be/FWXoyfccu2g here's a video to showcase how bad it is.

My hardware is:
CPU:Ryzen 5 1600
GPU: rx 580

Steps to reproduce:
Upgrade to 6.0.2 kernel
   xorg.5.18.log (111.2 KiB)
   Xorg.6.0.2.log (110.3 KiB)
This task depends upon

UPDATE: So I narrowed which at which kernel started introducing bad responsiveness and it started at 5.19.12! Version 5.19.11 runs very smoothly. Seems related to here: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/amd/-/issues/2189

@Morten Linderud I did reboot my computer, I just editted out the reboot. I tested 7 kernels rebooting after each downgrade and it seems 5.19.12 is when it starts happening so I will be sticking with 5.19.11 for now.

This is fixed in the latest 6.0.5. It effects 5.19.12 to 6.0.2! Requesting for closure now.
