Hi,
One additional thing happening in your system (not sure if this is related to the slowdown): during the kernel boot there is a delay of about six seconds while kernel is waiting for CPU1: [ 0.487263] Booting Node 0, Processors #1 [ 6.543573] CPU1: Not responding.
See in the /proc/cpuinfo the core 1 is not listed.
This issue is caused by a different processor LAPIC ID of the bootstrap processor... Changing the LAPIC ID in the devicetree.cb file from 0 to 4 will fix this issue, see also: https://mail.coreboot.org/pipermail/coreboot/2018-June/086874.html
But my guess is that this is not changing the system performance at all. Probably the only side effect is the bad cpu enumeration...
Kind regards, Sumo

Why the slow operation of the processor and memory is possible? What settings can be changed in Intel FSP and coreboot to speed up the processor and memory?
