Here the test with the BMW model, even with this scene shows a considerable increase in the rendering time with CPU.

While with my little GTX750Ti there is a slight increase in speed.

Can you please attach your system info?

Looking at our own tests: https://brechtvl.github.io/cycles-ci/ there is not that big of a slow down maybe ~5seconds so the bug might be with a particular cpu kernel.

hmm... CPU device capabilities returned nothing. Can you try with factory settings, both testing performance and the system-info?

Factory settings doesn't affect CPU device capabilities as far as I know.

This is using a 32bit daily build, I guess the 2.78c you're comparing with was also 32 bit? If so, perhaps it's related to ced8fff5de.

@brecht Hi, I don't use a 32bit version, below the test asked me to do, with factory settings and info.

The system info indicates you are using a 32 bit version (i686) though, so I think you might have downloaded the wrong build from builder.blender.org?

@brecht you're right, now I download the new of today, do not know how the hell did I go wrong, I'm sorry to have made you waste time unnecessarily I apologize strongly.

No problem, thanks for testing. Still kind of interesting that the 32 bit build is so much slower.
