I don't know what kernel you are using or what repositories you have configured.
 The latter is, I firmly believe, a key issue.

I'm also using 13.2.

As I've mentioned many times I make use of the kernel_Stable repository.  I
emphasise *STABLE* there.
You can find it at
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Kernel:/stable/standard/

I am currently using 4.8.6-1

Normally there are a couple of updates a month there, but the past couple of
weeks since Dirty Cow there have been a couple a week.

Along the way there have been a number of speed improvements, corrections (aka
fixes) to BtrFS and other drivers.  I think these changes have been worth while.
