Frank! That worked like a charm! I downloaded linux-2.6.26 source from
git.kernel.org, inserted the config options previously mentioned,
compiled ok, keeping U-Boot ramdisk and my DTS same it booted right up

If you have time, could you bisect to see when the slowdown was introduced?
I'm leaving in 5 minutes, but I'll try to find some time next week to
check this out.
