I can confirm that I am experiencing the same kind of slowdown. I have
not been able to find anything that would cause it, nor have I found any
mentions of this problem anywhere else... The slowdown is really quite
painful.

The upgrade was painless except that there was a dependency missing on
xutils which caused enlightenemnet not start at all. There was already a
bug report filed for this.
