Thanks! I had looked at the log but I guess I missed the error line
mentioning dri module not being loaded do to an error.
Installing the firmware-linux package fixed that.
Performance is still not optimal (window resize is still a bit slow) but
at least the workspace/application switch is much faster.
The main problem now is the excessive load on the CPU leading to quite
a bit more heating than usual, but at least I can work without the urge
to smash the keyboard :)
