After enabling "BIOS Thunderbolt Assist", I experience consistent
machine slowdown on my T480. Previously, I experienced slowdown after
power cycling my machine occasionally. Currently, with this BIOS setting
enabled, I experience slowdown consistently.
I am sorry but I don't know enough technically as to discern why. I am
simply reporting my user experience. I will re-disable the Thunderbolt
assist for now.

Another T480 user who has noticed the same problem. Per advice given,
I've just enabled "BIOS Thunderbolt Assist". I will report back if I
notice the problem persists.

ever emerged; your report is more thorough than mine were though.
I do remember that it never happened on my T430, but that's quite the
hardware gap.
