First of all, many many thanks for making Debian work on a Raspberry Pi
4B. I bounce back and forth between Bullseye and Bookworm on a Pi 4B and have noticed a performance degradation with Bookworm.
TL;DR
Install (current) Bookworm - performance good.
apt update/upgrade - performance tanks.
Revert 5.16 to 5.15 kernel - no improvement.
It seems that one of the 103 packages that get installed during the update causes this to happen.
More detail at https://github.com/HankB/Pi-4B-bookworm-performance
Is there anything I can do to help track this down? (I hope the answer is
not "install the packages one at a time to see what causes this.")
Thanks!

I started installing packages I thought were likely to cause the regression (one or two at a time) and following installation of raspi-firmware the problem appeared.
Given you have already pursued the situation to this detail, could you share... between which versions do you see the regression?

raspi-firmware/testing 1.20220120+ds-1 arm64 [upgradable from: 1.20210805+ds-1]
Some additional information that might be useful is that the system seems unable to determine CPU frequencies. For example
root@up:~# cpupower frequency-info
analyzing CPU 0:
no or unknown cpufreq driver is active on this CPU
CPUs which run at the same hardware frequency: Not Available
CPUs which need to have their frequency coordinated by software: Not Available
maximum transition latency: Cannot determine or is not supported.
Not Available
available cpufreq governors: Not Available
Unable to determine current policy
current CPU frequency: Unable to call hardware
current CPU frequency: Unable to call to kernel
Personally I think it's more useful if Hank reported the issue himself to https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware/ then let Gunnar do it on his behalf.

I lack the knowledge to properly/fully understand the issue Gunnar linked
to,
but it looks applicable ... still (despite the last msg indicating the
issue
was fixed).
I don't know exactly the role that clocks play, but they seem quite important.
And when the value of a/multiple clock(s) return 0, it doesn't surprise me that it would cause other things to fail, like the ones you reported
above,
which in turn cause the CPU (f.e.) to be way slower then it can be.
Personally I think it's more useful if Hank reported the issue himself to https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware/ then let Gunnar do it on his
behalf.
Having a bug in Debian's BTS (against raspi-firmware) regarding this issue seems useful as well and with the 'forwarded' keyword it can be linked to
the
upstream issue.
Cheers,
Diederik
