Which graphics hardware are you guys using? I noticed regressions with
both my intel-based systems (desktop: 82Q963/Q965, laptop: 855GM). It
seems that the video-intel driver now uses EXA by default; switching
back to XAA made all my problems disappear. If you use other cards it
might be worthwhile to check the relevant manpage for changes in default
settings or "suspicious" new options. (At least, that helped me to
figure out what was going on.)
