misc@, I am happy to report the problem disappeared without the tweaks mentioned in my last email upon a cold reboot. In fact, I am now observing performance gains over 6.3. Out of curiosity, is it possible that warm reboots do not completely initialize everything cold reboots do, either at the OS level or lower?
