Bug Description
I noticed a significant worse performance of my USB 3.0 Expresscard when using 3.2.0-22-generic compared to the older 3.2.0-21-generic.
Controller is a
05:00.0 USB controller: NEC Corporation uPD720200 USB 3.0 Host Controller (rev 03)
+ a Corsair Flash Voyager GT 3.0 32GB
I tried it four times each, and results were the same every time. Shutting down or just rebooting the machine to the other kernel version does not make any difference - it clearly has something to to with the kernel itself. Boot options where the same on both cases, I tried it with the USB storage attached at boot and also connecting it later.
Please note the attached screens of the benchmark feature of Disk Utility (palimpsest).
