I finally decided to bail out: I replaced the 7.10 install on my Dell D810, with 7.04. I've noticed two benefits:

1) The system doesn't lock up. Under 7.10, it would often lock up (requiring a reboot), most often as a result of heavy browser use.

2) Time to boot the system (from BIOS screen to login screen) has dropped from minutes (didn't measure it) under 7.10, to just 32 seconds under 7.04.

It's pretty clear to me that there is a serious problem with7.10, but not having heard from a developer about this, I couldn't stick it out with 7.10 - it was just too disruptive. So far, for what I do, the functionality of 7.04 is the same as 7.10.
