There was some serious oopsing in recent kernels which caused some slowness
and rather large /var/log/messages. Today's kernel is much better.

I had the same X problem. The intel driver has been flaky for lots of folks
since November-ish. If your intel card is misbehaving, I had success with
the latest drivers by

a)Turn off compiz
b) In your xorg.conf, add
   Option "EXANoComposite" "true"

My network seems quite slow. I think the problem is that dns queries are
seeing A rather than AAAA (or vice versa) responses and there appears to be
a timeout associated with that. The slowdown comes and goes with updates to
bind.

For the most part, today's rawhide is usable for me.
