Hi, I have a Dell Latitude 3380 with an i3-6006u, 8GB of RAM and a 256gb SSD. The problem is that sometimes it’s just slow. Maybe it’s because of low power cpu or something but I’d like to make it faster. Any ideas?
Ps. I already enabled performance mode
I have some interesting tweaks here for F43!
Particularly with Intel CPUs, I remove tuned and use lower-level x86_energy_perf_policy to control the CPU power state (notes); it applies early in boot too and indirectly speeds that up 
I have Intel iGPU, SSD, and wifi tweaks too (notes).
You might be able to boost fan speed to stay at Turbo clocks longer:
cat '/sys/firmware/acpi/platform_profile' && echo 'performance' | sudo tee '/sys/firmware/acpi/platform_profile' > '/dev/null' && cat '/sys/firmware/acpi/platform_profile'
I suspect globally setting GSK_RENDERER=cairo would be an overall speed-up with GNOME/GTK apps (notes)
