CUDA training loop runs ~50x slower while a DataLoader iterates in a background thread, since 2.10.0
### 🐛 Describe the bug PyTorch appears to be slower in newer versions. From my testing, slowdown starts at 2.10.0. It slows down when dataloader is involved. I have attached repro steps. #### AI-generated report > The section below was written by Claude Code (Anthropic) from...
[CUDA][cuDNN] conv1d float32 about 27x slower on nightly (cuDNN 9.26) than on 2.9.1; the native kernel is 100x faster
### 🐛 Describe the bug `F.conv1d` on float32 CUDA inputs is about 27x slower on a recent nightly than on 2.9.1 on an RTX 3050 Laptop GPU (sm_86). With cuDNN disabled, the same call takes 8 ms on both builds, so the time goes into the cuDNN path that the nightly selects....
layer_norm / rms_norm forward launches idle warps for narrow rows (up to ~9x slower, e.g. per-head q/k norm)
### 🐛 Describe the bug `F.rms_norm` and `F.layer_norm` forward on GPU are much slower for narrow rows than for wide rows with the same total size. Narrow rows are the per-head q/k norm in many current models (head dim 64/128: Qwen3, Flux, Wan, MiniMax-H3, ...). On a Radeon AI...
