Re: Patterned slow-down over the entire GNOME desktop

I have a two year old laptop that uses the radeon driver.

The last few kernels from rawhide left a really sluggish response.
Switching between virtual screens gave a really noticeable repaint. I
also had the feeling that I/O in general was very slow.

The latest 1806 kernel is much better, so this might not be an X problem.
