With KMS & 6.13.1-2+squeeze1 (Sid has 6.13.2-2, update scheduled in
some days) removing MigrationHeuristic from xorg.conf gives acceptable
speed, same than with it. So at some point in the past, the issue that
required greedy was solved. The obvious test was >5 sec canvas
refreshes in GIMP when repositioning the content. Thanks for the tip.
