In the meantime I've switched to a new machine (Core i) and Lyx 2.0.0 final on Debian. CPU usage of one core (of four) still rockets up when scrolling/writing in a large LyX window, but it's smooth enough and works without big lags.
So for me this is "solved", I'm afraid I'm not going to debug my previous situation any further.
