Update on this: I found a repeatable test case which is deleting lots of (4000ish) files on disk (shift + delete, not recycle bin). With nerfed performance (default) it caps at 160 files per second.
Defender and AV services are obvious problems but it goes beyond that so this test is with those disabled.
Windows power management is now a hidden setting. If you van bring it up, you can switch it from balanced to high or ultimate performance. I wrote this off because it made literally no difference to CPU speed per benchmarks so I thought it was dead or deprecated.
Turns out, it is still doing things that DRASTICALLY affect the performance of either pcie or some other kind of nvme interaction.
Set to ultimate performance, 160/s cap goes to 800/s average. The system seems noticeably more responsive. Intentionally throttling the CPU to low clock speed does not remove the performance gains. High Performance shows basically the same.
The services that I shut off like Nextcloud and Everything did not make a noticeable difference. I'm going to see if uninstalling malwarebytes does anything (yes I don't need a lecture on how AV is a scam. I'm acutely aware of the tradeoffs)

quoting nevent1q…9pudThinking I'm going to engage in a quest to figure what the fuck is making windows 11 so slow on a super high end machine. I'm open to the idea that it might be something I installed but I never had any of these issues on 10
