Hi again Joseph. Thanks for your guidance through out this process :)

Yes, this bring the speed back close as it were in 12.04. I tested on both the upstream kernel, and the current Trusty 14.04 kernel. Both are working at fairly high speeds again (see below).

So I guess this one was not exactly a bug, but a conscious decision to compromise speed in favor of stability.

Kind Regards.
