How can I solve this problem ?

It looks like you are using Debian 9. Does the same happen with Debian 10 or Debian 11? — A.B, Aug 07 '22 at 21:43
Explain: What exactly is slow and how do you measure it? Are there any unusual messages in syslog or journal? — U. Windl, Aug 18 '22 at 23:30
@U.Windl If I install `firmware-realtek` my pc works very slowly. before , install `firmware-realtek` my pc works very fastly eg: if I open a browser it will open with in a sec. but , after I install `firmware-realtek` if I open a browser it 1 min to open. — Pradeep Simba, Aug 19 '22 at 09:12
A friend of mine asked me about this same problem a few days ago, so I don't think it is related to your specific machine. Which realtek device do you have? Post the output of lspci. — John Tyree, Aug 22 '22 at 11:43

Your firmware link is from Debian 9. You might be running Debian 11, but you installed a Debian 9 firmware. Here's Debian 11's firmware: https://packages.debian.org/bullseye/firmware-realtek (package version 20210315-3 versus yours version 20190114-2~deb9u1) . At the very least you're supposed to check if up-to-date soft... firmware fixes the issue. Nothing tells it will, but that's what to try first. Also you shouldn't have to do this manually. It should be used from the correct repository settings for Debian 11 non-free (it appears you are using the wrong). — A.B, Aug 23 '22 at 14:32
Actually you edited the first line of your apt-get command to make it look like it wasn't downloaded manually, which can hinder help. — A.B, Aug 23 '22 at 14:39
I installed this package https://packages.debian.org/bullseye/firmware-realtek But, this not worked — Pradeep Simba, Aug 25 '22 at 01:19
Digging around in the logs (journalctl -xe) I found some references to AER which led me to another forum post that had a workaround. See my posted answer. — John Tyree, Aug 25 '22 at 03:01

This appears to be https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1588428, which is talked about on https://askubuntu.com/a/771908 as well.

Workaround is to disable AER and/or MSI by adding a kernel param to your boot cmdline, either pci=noaer or pci=nomsi. I personally have tried this and seen it work on at least one machine.

See https://askubuntu.com/questions/19486/how-do-i-add-a-kernel-boot-parameter to learn more about adding kernel params.

Please , Can you explain in detail ? Because I am new to linux. – Pradeep Simba Aug 26 '22 at 00:09
The arguments you would add are as described there, `pci=noaer` or `pci=nomsi`, you might have to try both to see what works. The last link is an article describing where you will add this argument and how to do it. It happens as the computer is booting up. – John Tyree Sep 09 '22 at 22:28
