I wanted to make sure that the slow graphics you are abserving aren't
just the result of a more general problem with your system. If compiling
a kernel (with output redirection) takes about the same time now as
before the upgrade, you are probably about suspecting graphics to be the
core of the problem. Otherwise, it might be scheduler issue or something
like that.

I am experiencing my system being horribly unresponsive for a few
seconds as well every few days. I suspect it has something to do with IO
scheduling and/or my SSD not supporting TRIM.
