Right now:
dev.cpu.7.freq_levels: 2803/-1
dev.cpu.7.freq: 3103
dev.cpu.5.freq_levels: 2803/-1
dev.cpu.5.freq: 3103
dev.cpu.3.freq_levels: 2803/-1
dev.cpu.3.freq: 3103
dev.cpu.1.freq_levels: 2803/-1
dev.cpu.1.freq: 3103
dev.cpu.6.freq_levels: 2803/-1
dev.cpu.6.freq: 3103
dev.cpu.4.freq_levels: 2803/-1
dev.cpu.4.freq: 3103
dev.cpu.2.freq_levels: 2803/-1
dev.cpu.2.freq: 3103
dev.cpu.0.freq_levels: 2803/-1
dev.cpu.0.freq: 3103

Will try.

Yes, it's a: 11th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-1165G7 @ 2.80GHz

Yes, that's where I noticed the "gradually run slower and slower"...
Initially I thought it was some kind of thermal throttling, but leaving the
computer
idle overnight did not lead to automatic recovery, whereas reboots and as far
as I
can tell, restarting powerd does.
