Hello Igor and Paolo,
Just now I was working on some small fixes for the cubieboard machine and rebasing my Allwinner H3 branches.
While doing some testing, I noticed that suddenly the machines were much slower than before.
I only see this happening when I rebase to this commit:
Also the avocado tests I'm running started to timeout:
+ AVOCADO_ALLOW_LARGE_STORAGE=yes avocado --show=app,console run -t machine:cubieboard tests/acceptance/boot_linux_console.py

Have you noticed a similar performance change?
Do you have any clue if there may be something changed here that could cause a slowdown?
