[ilk Regression] Generalized slowness after upgrade to kernel 3.10

Bug description:
When running the 3.9 kernel everything is fine. However, starting with kernel 3.10, I experienced generalized slowness related to graphics operations. Drawing an entire page in Firefox, or switching desktops are slow operations. There's a delay (I would say 0.2s) whenever a large portion of the screen needs to be repainted. If I try to switch desktops repeatedly, the whole thing gets slower and then there's a one-second delay before the desktop switches complete.
Gratuitous hypothesis: there used to be a warning about the turbo mode being disabled which disappeared in 3.10. I somehow feel like the frequency of the graphics chip is too low for it to perform operations in a timely manner.
I'm not a regular at bugs.freedesktop.org, so please bear with me if the information below is incomplete. In any case, I'd be happy to provide more information if you tell me how to do it!
Thanks,
