The keyboard "slowness" may be because of X apps reading from stdin (notably
dbus-launch, which shouldn't but does: <http://bugs.debian.org/453755>).

dbus-x11 now works around this in Xsession.d by opening /dev/null as stdin,
but this isn't really D-Bus' job, and this workaround will be removed when
#453755 gets fixed properly.

Having a virtual console as the stdin of apps in an X session makes very
little sense; please make slim behave like gdm, xdm, etc., which run their
X sessions with /dev/null as stdin.
