this was the same as Paul send. I think i need more time for 
investigation, maybe there is an issue with the application.

All i noticed so far is that in good case the CPU usage is around ~ 60 % 
and higher, while in bad case the CPU is almost idle. Also the issue is 
not reproducible with arm64/defconfig.
