I found the most informative metric is to hold page down for 10 seconds, stop, observe the page you reached. With 4.3.0 I reached page 100. With 5.0.2 I reached 50. With 6.0 bibisect repo I reached 19 (same ballpark for newer ones). Unfortunately, I did not get the worst value in the bibisect repo for 5.4, so I am unable to perform a bibisect.

Maybe I could try to find the worsening after 4.3 on Linux.

No luck. I was not able to observe a difference. Linux behaves differently from Windows in that it keeps scrolling a long time after you finish pressing PgDn.

Flamegraph

Here's a Flamegraph retrieved on pc Debian x86-64 with master sources updated today.
(I waited some seconds before killing perf trace).
