On VirtualBox, I get the "lag effect" on both scrolling and VT switching.
On real hardware (with VGA mode), VT switching is very slow, but scrolling
is fine.
There's a small glitch during VT switch: immediately after pressing the
keys, screen is redrawn, but where you'd normally see the login prompt,
blurry characers are drawn. After a fraction of a second, these are replaced
with proper glyphs. Smells like a font related problem. Would you like to
see a video capture?
