But at this stage you'd be better off upgrading to a newer CPU with much more capable graphics or even picking up a budget discrete GPU.

I understand that doing bisect is such a chore, but if owners of affected hardware is not interested in finding root cause and filling bugreport, I am afraid no one interested.
I would like to bisect the kernel to find the commit that introduced this regression... when I manage to find an amount of time that would let me concentrate on the issue without interruptions (e.g. a weekend without chores/other obligations).
I'm perfectly aware this will not get fixed automagically by a saint, in fact I don't usually complain about this.

Also my thanks to Mesa developers for this work! I'm probably not using it very much though as I tend to game on other systems than this. Most graphically intensive games are not that great on i5-4200U

I have no plans to get updated hardware for a good while yet, mainly because once I do I'll have to replace most of the components in these systems (updated cpu requires updated mobo, ram, case, power supply, etc). I'll basically be replacing everything but the gfx and the storage at minimum. That probably won't be until one or more of those components bites the dust.
Hopefully the next system(s) I get (whenever I get them) will last as long as these have.

When I can get back home(bushfires, COVIDs and broken legs, oh my!), I plan on tinkering incessantly with my P3-1200. Managed to sort of fit it in an old IBM NetVista case. I really miss the old IBM hardware.
I would have loved to have benchmarked it on Phoronix, but 32 bit has been canned on most distro's, I think.Hi
