There is some kernel parameter for that. One other major change I can think of that affectes performance on occasion is the removal of non-free firmware for the Linux kernel. Make sure you don't have any firmware errors in dmesg. The most common firmwares you will find in firmware-linux-nonfree (you must enable non-free for that). Other than that htop is your friend, as others already suggested.
