I've noticed one area where X is now slower. I run 2 X displays, one at 256
colors, the other at 16bpp. I switch between then a lot. It used to be a
very fast switch from one to the other. Now, I switch, and it takes 2-3
seconds before X starts responding to mouse movement again. Same thing
happens if I switch to a text console and then back to X.
