Ok, the cause of sluggish performance is the lack of a cache directory configuration entry in your /etc/fonts/fonts.conf file.
It looks like the upgrade didn't install a new version of this file for
some reason; if you hadn't modified it since 2.3.2-7, then the installer
has a bug. If you did, then we should enhance the installer to at least
warn the user that their system is about to become really painful to
use, and that they might want to change the configuration file.
You can fix this by either ensuring that the fonts.conf file gets
upgraded when you upgrade fontconfig-config, or edit the fonts.conf by
hand to include the following lines:
<!-- Font cache directory list -->
<cachedir>/var/cache/fontconfig</cachedir>
<cachedir>~/.fontconfig</cachedir>
This goes after the font directory list and before the first match
element.
